Doorway Tanks

[Chris Tharpe]

Does anyone use a doorway tank? How do you secure them into place. I am thinking about a van build and would like to utilize something like this to handle wash water and reclaim water and take up as little space as possible but dont want to tap the brakes and then have 500 gallons of water coming at me?

those things are great. they have baffles threw the middle. they dont have hardly any movement. im getting ready to buy 3 400 gallons myself.

how do you secure them in place? Do they use bands like horizontal leg tanks do or some sort of strapping homemade system you have to come up with to secure them in place

where are you putting them at? we had 3 in a row strapped in a box truck. I kno you said a van, but the ones we had wouldnt fit in a van. a doorway tank is 29 inches if i remember right. they were 400 gallons. they fit pretty snug 3 in a row in the box truck. Ill get some pictures.

If anyone else is wondering what they are ...

Good question, Chris
When I first got the box truck I was looking at these myself. The walls on my truck are not thick enough to secure that tank too. I ended up going with square tanks. If someone can figure this out I would still like to use the doorway tank.
