I decided to install my 70L Fiamma water tank last (for some reason) and with it I installed two float switches which I wired to indicator lights so I can monitor how full my tank is inside the van.
Float switches are a simple switch mechanism that when the water level drops below the switch, it disconnects the circuit. With them wired to lights, once the light has gone out I know the water level is below that point.
My water tank sits really nicely at the rear of the van under my bed and I cut two sections of 9mm ply to hold it in place. I then mounted a water inlet into the ply to allow me to fill up the tank.
