Spilling water from DIs,  from barrels etc is getting under ply and throughout van.   I thought if I got some sort of long flat flexible tub, all the water would get caught in the tub and I could pour  it out back doors on a hill  when too full.  Water dripping g out of DI connectors.  Anyone recommend better connectors and hoses?

What van you driving? Looks like a caddy? My uncle's have a caddy and use a fitted tray from eBay. They are about £50

 
Is it not just excess water left in your hose pipes as for the connectors have you put some plumbers thread tape on them

PTF tape?  I should try that, but could also be cheap hosepipe perhaps.  My metal hoselock was pulled off the hose and consequently water all over ply lol    Could be DIs moving around.  Where can you buy good quality hose and metal hoselock connectors?

Rectus 026 fittings are by far the most durable and leak proof. Same story - you get what you pay for.
I had a custom tray made for my van, but only the rear section behind my tank. Think it was about £80. One of the best things I've brought to be honest. A guy called Neil at EMPF water tanks. I'm hoping he will do my next tank as his work is superb and very reasonably priced. WWW.PLASTIC WATERTANKS.CO.UK

When I looked at van liners most of them either had cut outs for lashing eyes or they didn't have much of a lip to retain water if needed. May have just been for my van model though!!

Just called them up.  Bought it.   How did u make lip ?  Just fold edges up.    Did u take out ply on floor?

Just folded it up the sides  Ive left the ply in  as it keeps it flat .I just use the barrels and they don't move  in the back .I could of cut it better around the wheel arches at the back of them  .If i get water on it just pull it out to dry it .
