Trafalgar WT009A 350 Litre Flat Water Tank for Space-Saving Vehicle Storage
When you need to store water in a confined space, the Trafalgar WT009A 350 litre flat baffled tank solves the puzzle. Its 990 × 750 × 520 mm profile is designed to fit under beds or onto van floors, making it an ideal choice for campervan conversions, motorhomes, and work vans where every centimetre counts. With a 350 litre capacity, there’s plenty for extended camping, multiple valeting jobs, or agricultural tasks—no need for constant refills. Unlike upright tanks, this flat design keeps your centre of gravity low and doesn’t eat up vertical space. In a van build, that means more room for living or storage. For mobile professionals, it means you can maximise payload and stability. The tank weighs 24 kg when empty, so two people can move it into place. Once filled, it’s heavy—about 374 kg—so plan your installation accordingly.
Flat tanks have their advantages, but also their limits. If your installation space is strictly vertical, an upright tank may be a better fit. The WT009A is built for horizontal placement and won’t suit every vehicle layout. Dimensions and volume can vary by ±3% due to the rotational moulding process. That’s typical for this kind of tank and does not affect performance.
Baffled, Durable MDPE Build and Ready-to-Install Design
The WT009A is made from rotationally moulded medium-density polyethylene (MDPE), a material chosen for its toughness and longevity. It shrugs off knocks, UV exposure, and most chemicals, so you can use it in demanding settings like farmyards and mobile cleaning vans. Metal tanks can rust. Thin imports can split. This tank handles the bumps and scrapes of daily use. Cleaning is straightforward—open the 6″ Ext Plain lid for access, rinse with mild detergent, and check for leaks. No complicated upkeep.
Internal baffles set this tank apart for vehicle transport. They break up water movement, reducing slosh when you brake or corner. That means your van stays steady and your load stays safe. For professional valeters and off-grid users, fewer spills and less shifting weight make a difference. The tank arrives pre-drilled for standard pipework or taps, so you won’t waste time or risk damaging the plastic during fitting. Need a specific colour for visibility or organisation? Trafalgar supplies the tank in a natural finish as standard, with colour options available for an additional 10% cost.
For anyone dealing with unstable, awkward tanks in the past, this is a practical upgrade. You get the peace of mind that comes with a reliable UK supplier and a design built for real-world use. No fuss. No drama.
