Thought I would show you some of the install options now available with the small footprint designs on the Sapphire units. As most realize, our standard size vans down here are quite a bit smaller than your vans, but we still have a bit of usable room.
Above you will see a live fresh water hose reel to the left in front of the wastetank. We put a full length stainless steel strip along the leading edge of the carpet as well. We have then ducted down the wastetank dump port through to the step. On that step as well, we have mounted the fuel pump up in the right hand corner which is nice and accessible, rather than having to every climb underneath the van to service it. If you have a look down behind the tire and mudflap, you will see a brass cap - this is where we have ducted the APO line. Ducting the APO line externally, and the waste dump port through the floor makes sure that there is no dirty water inside the actual van. We have also staggered the waste tank from the console. The waste tank is about recessed 10" from the front of the console. This allows good access to the entire left hand side of the machine.
We had a space behind the vacuum hose reel, so we fabricated up a shelf over the battery box, and it comfortably holds two Dri-Eaz airmovers.
You can see the glass blasted stainless chemical shelf over the left hand wheel arch. All three reels to the right are also glass blasted marine grade stainless steel as well. Side mounting allows for easy access to the complete side of the truckmount through the rear door.
All in all, for such a small van, these truckmounts allow quite a bit of useable left over storage space, all the while having a truckmount that is very easy to service with access to both sides of the console.
