Hi,
I have bought this water tank: https://www.reimo.com/de/61013-spezi…nterflur_reimo/ for my t4 multivan.
Has anyone experience mounting it? I got no instructions from Reimo, they simply ignore my emails 
.
It came with this mounting bracket: https://1drv.ms/i/s!AjecB_kWe-tRqjTArhamaVMmya_w.
Is the bracket supposed to mounted over the floor with only threaded rods sticking out ? Stripping the floor would be a pain in the .. 
.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Janez
Hi Janez,
I've no experience mounting this watertank - but it seems Reimo want to mount it like you said, through the floor.
the Picture: should be linked directly - otherwise it's possible to scroll through your whole cloud data.
The weight of the filled tank is heavy - just some rivet nuts instead, mounted from bottom side, seems not enough.
I saw some broken floor panel around small fixations (ok, just LPG tanks). The reason is the dynamic bending stress. Try to use big washers to avoid this.
Can you drill big holes in the wooden floor (and close after) later? Are they hidden by cabinets?
Regards,
RalphCC

Also von Reimo ist es so gedacht, dass man Löcher bohrt und den Halter von oben rein legt.
Man kann alternativ aber auch einfach 2 Gewindestangen anschweißen, wenn man keine Löcher bohren will.
Andere hier im Forum haben Lochband genommen und das angeschraubt.
Aber so oder so, muss die Schraubstelle oder die Schweißtelle, oder das Loch gegen Korrosion geschützt werden.
You're right. You have to remove the floor to install it.
If you plan to install the mounting bracket on top of the floor, that's not possible. The threaded bolt is way too short.
Grummelgrufti: Bist du dir da sicher? In meinem Fall und einem anderen, den ich kenne, waren die Gewindestangen dafür zu kurz. Kommt also drauf an, welcher Boden verbaut war.

According to Reimo you have to drill holes and place the bracket from the top side.
Alternatively you can weld 2 threaded bars if you don't want to drill holes.
Other people in the forum have used punched tape and screws to fix it.
Anyhow the screw, the welded part or the hole has to be protected against corrosion.
Thanks guys!
Is there any forum thread on stripping the floor in multivan?
I found this: http://www.t4-wiki.de/wiki/Verkleidung, but it doesn't say much about the floor.
I love the idea of Grummelgrufti to weld the treaded Bars to the bottom.. Has anyone done it this way and like to share pictures?
Hi Janetz !
I have fastened the tank below the floor of the car with 3 screws per base.
2 x per threaded rod ( M8 ) keep the tank fastened.
Look at the pictures!
The socket is from mini camera.
