I have the eurocampers.com one, but I don't see it on his website now, but
he may still have them.  I use it for fresh water.  One issue as a grey
water tank is the large drain is molded up into the tank so about 2 inches
of water in there wouldn't come out unless you add a small drain plug at one
end.

But a better idea is buy a couple 4 or 6" PVC pipes, cut them to the right
length, somehow connect them together, glue on some standard plumbing caps
and one drain, and mount them under the van in the frame rail.  They would
be more sturdy than the plastic tank and would tuck out the way a little
better.
