Van Plumbing Byron Bay: Custom Water Systems for Life on the Road

A well-designed plumbing system can elevate your van from a basic camper to a fully functional off-grid home. Whether you're brewing coffee at sunrise, taking a hot outdoor shower after a Byron surf, or washing up in the middle of nowhere, proper van plumbing turns travel into true comfort. At Savanna Vans, based in Byron Bay, we specialise in custom van plumbing installations that are built to last, easy to maintain, and tailored to your vanlife needs.

Why Plumbing Matters in Your Van Conversion

Plumbing is often overlooked by DIY builders, but it’s one of the most important systems in your van. From freshwater delivery to greywater management and LPG hot water systems, every component must work seamlessly and safely—especially when living off-grid.

A professionally installed van plumbing system offers:

  • Reliable water access for drinking, cooking, and cleaning

  • Hot and cold water systems for sinks and showers

  • Leak-free fittings that can handle the vibrations of the road

  • Greywater and wastewater management that’s eco-compliant

  • Gas-certified hot water setups that meet Australian standards

With proper plumbing, your van becomes a mobile sanctuary—comfortable, convenient, and compliant.

Our Plumbing Services at Savanna Vans

At Savanna Vans, we offer complete van plumbing design and installation in Byron Bay. Whether you want a simple hand-pump sink or a full-blown off-grid kitchen and shower setup, we’ll design your system from scratch to suit your van and your lifestyle.

Freshwater Systems

We install food-grade freshwater tanks ranging from 30L to 120L+, typically mounted under the bed or beneath the van chassis. Paired with 12V electric pumps and inline filters, you’ll have consistent pressure for your sink, shower, or water heater.

Greywater Systems

We connect your sink and/or shower to a sealed greywater tank with easy drain valves for responsible disposal at dump stations. Systems include:

  • Overflow protection

  • Venting for odour control

  • Easy-access drain points

Hot Water Solutions

Hot water in a van? Absolutely. We offer:

  • LPG gas water heaters (like Truma or Bosch)

  • Diesel combi units that provide hot water and heating

  • Solar-assisted hot water setups for off-grid use

All gas systems are installed and certified by licensed gas fitters to ensure safety and compliance with Australian regulations.

Kitchen Plumbing

We custom-build kitchen units that include:

  • Stainless steel or copper sinks

  • Brass or black tapware

  • Compact drain systems

  • Water filters for potable supply

Whether your kitchen is fixed or modular, we make sure the plumbing is tucked away cleanly behind cabinetry or under benches.

Shower Systems

Outdoor or indoor, we can fit your van with:

  • Retractable external shower hoses

  • Fully enclosed indoor shower cubicles

  • Privacy screens, curtain rails, and hot water feed

  • Drainage connected directly to greywater tanks

Perfect for post-beach rinses or wilderness campsites.

Designed for Byron Bay Living

Byron Bay’s coastal lifestyle demands van plumbing that can handle:

  • Salt air and humidity (we use corrosion-resistant fittings)

  • Sandy feet (easy-rinse outdoor shower options)

  • Long off-grid trips (high-capacity tanks and solar power integration)

We understand the local lifestyle and design plumbing systems for surfers, yogis, weekend warriors, and full-time road-trippers alike.

Plumbing for All Van Types

We install plumbing systems in:

  • Toyota Hiace & 300 Series vans

  • Mercedes Sprinter & VW Crafter

  • VW Transporter

  • Hilux slide-on campers

  • Custom off-road builds

From stealth campers to adventure rigs, we size, route, and test every pipe and tank to suit your layout and usage plans.
