A reliable caravan waste water tank is important for responsible and self-contained caravanning. By safely collecting wastewater from your sinks and showers, these tanks will help to protect the environment and make sure that you meet the requirements of many campgrounds and off-grid locations across Australia. Whether you are upgrading an older van or setting up a new build, a quality waste water tank gives you the freedom to travel and camp without leaving any trace behind.

Why a Waste Water Caravan Tank Is Essential

More campsites now require caravans and motorhomes to be fully self-contained, meaning your vehicle must capture all grey water rather than releasing it onto the ground. A caravan waste water tank allows you to do exactly that, keeping dirty water contained until you reach an approved disposal point. This not only protects natural sites from contamination but also gives you much more flexibility in where you can stay, particularly in environmentally sensitive areas.

A well-designed waste water tank also prevents unpleasant odours and hygiene issues around your campsite. By securely collecting water from sinks and basins, it keeps your setup clean and fully compliant with modern camping standards.

Choosing the Right Portable Waste Water Tank for Your Caravan

Not all caravan setups are exactly the same, which is why we stock a wide range of caravan waste water tanks to suit various installation styles and capacity needs. When selecting the right tank, it is important you consider how much fresh water you usually carry and how long your trips tend to be. Matching your waste tank capacity to your water usage will make sure that you do not run out of storage before you are able to empty the system.

All of our tanks are made from high-quality, food-grade polyethylene that is strong enough to withstand rough Australian roads and long-term exposure to the elements. The material is resistant to corrosion and cracking, making it ideal for ongoing caravan use. You will also find tanks suited to both fixed underbody installation and portable use, giving you the option to hard-mount a tank on your van or use a wheeled portable model for easy transport to dump points.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a caravan waste water tank?

A caravan waste water tank lets you collect all grey water from your sinks and showers, which is now required at many campsites across Australia. It keeps you compliant while protecting the environment and prevents wastewater from pooling around your campsite.

What’s the difference between grey water and black water?

Grey water is the wastewater from your sinks, basins and your showers. Black water comes from your toilet system. A caravan waste water tank is designed specifically for grey water and is separate from any toilet holding tank.

Are caravan waste water tanks required at most campsites?

More and more campgrounds, national parks and off-grid sites now require caravans to be fully self-contained, which means you must store your grey water instead of letting it drain onto the ground. Having a tank gives you access to many more camping locations.

How do I choose the right size waste water tank?

It really depends on how much fresh water you carry and how long your trips usually are. Ideally, your waste tank should match or exceed your fresh water capacity so you do not run out of grey water storage before you reach a dump point.

Should I choose a fixed tank or a portable waste water tank?

Fixed underbody tanks are great if you want something permanently mounted and out of the way. Portable tanks are ideal if you prefer something you can wheel to a dump point without moving your whole caravan. It really comes down to convenience and your setup.

What are your caravan waste water tanks made from?

All tanks in our range are made from high-quality, food-grade polyethylene. This material is extremely durable, corrosion-resistant and built to handle rough roads and long-term outdoor exposure.
