Campervan solar water tank: Braguscamp 30 L roof tank with 12 V pump
The Braguscamp 30 L solar water tank mounts on your roof rack or crossbars and gives you warm, pressurised water wherever you park. Its matte black body absorbs sunlight to heat the water naturally, and the 12 V pump, powered from the cigarette lighter socket, delivers a flow of 5–6.5 litres per minute for showers, rinsing gear or washing up.
It is a complete kit: tank, pump, 6.4 m hose, mounting kit and user manual, with an air inlet, a level indicator and 1/2" BSPT brass fittings. The aerodynamic shape, 163 x 21 x 13.5 cm, reduces wind noise and drag on long journeys, and the tank weighs only 10 kg empty.
Made of rotomoulded, food-grade, BPA-free LLDPE with 5–8 mm of thermal insulation, it keeps the water warm for longer. It is designed and sold by Braguscamp for overlanding, surf trips, campervan routes and emergencies, with shipping to Spain and Europe.

Features of the Braguscamp 30 L roof water tank
Solar heating and thermal insulation
The tank is finished in matte black so it absorbs sunlight and warms the water while you drive or park. Its 5–8 mm thermal insulation helps keep that heat for longer, even when the air temperature drops. That means a warm shower after a day of surfing, hiking or driving, with no gas and no extra electrical consumption for heating.
12 V pump and 6.4 m hose
The included pump runs on 12 V from the cigarette lighter socket, drawing between 4.5 and 6.6 A, and delivers 5–6.5 litres per minute. The 6.4 m hose gives you enough reach to shower beside the vehicle, rinse a wetsuit, clean bikes or wash your hands and dishes comfortably.
Optional pressurisation and pressure-reducing valve
If you want more pressure, connect an air compressor to the air inlet and pressurise the tank. A pressure-reducing valve helps prevent uneven discharge caused by the movement of the vehicle. Always respect the instructions in the manual when pressurising, and release the pressure before opening the filler cap.
Safe, tough material
The body is made of rotomoulded LLDPE, food-grade and BPA-free, which resists impacts, vibrations and the sun. The 1/2" BSPT brass fittings provide solid, durable connections, and the level indicator lets you see how much water is left at a glance, so you can plan your next refill.
Aerodynamic and easy to mount
With dimensions of 163 x 21 x 13.5 cm, the tank sits low on the roof rack or crossbars and reduces wind noise and drag. It weighs 10 kg empty and comes with its own mounting kit, so fitting does not require complicated tools. Check the load rating of your roof and rack, remembering that 30 litres of water add around 30 kg.

Frequently asked questions about the Braguscamp 30 L solar water tank
Will it fit my roof rack or crossbars?
The tank is designed to mount on roof racks or roof bars and comes with its own mounting kit. Before fitting, check the dimensions, 163 x 21 x 13.5 cm, and make sure your roof and rack can carry the 10 kg tank plus around 30 kg of water.
How does the solar heating work?
The matte black body absorbs sunlight and heats the water inside, while the 5–8 mm thermal insulation helps keep it warm. How hot it gets depends on sun, season and hours of exposure, so always test the temperature before showering.
How is the pump powered?
The pump runs on 12 V and plugs into the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket, drawing 4.5–6.6 A. It delivers a flow of 5–6.5 litres per minute. Unplug it when not in use so you do not drain the battery.
Can I increase the water pressure?
Yes. The tank has an air inlet so you can connect an air compressor and pressurise it for a stronger shower. A pressure-reducing valve helps keep the discharge even. Follow the manual and release the pressure before opening the filler cap.
Is it safe for drinking water?
The tank is made of rotomoulded, food-grade, BPA-free LLDPE. Fill it with clean drinking water, rinse it regularly and empty it if you are not going to use it for a while, as with any water container.
What is included in the kit?
You receive the tank, the 12 V pump, a 6.4 m hose, the mounting kit and the user manual. The tank also has an air inlet, a level indicator and 1/2" BSPT brass fittings for durable connections.
Does it make noise or affect fuel consumption?
Its slim, aerodynamic shape is designed to reduce wind noise and drag compared with bulkier containers. As with any roof load, there may be a small effect depending on speed and vehicle, so secure it well and check the fixings after the first kilometres.
How is it different from the 24 L shower tank and the 6 L boiler?
The 30 L tank mounts on the roof and heats water with the sun, using a 12 V pump. The 24 L tank is portable with a manual pump and needs no electricity. The 6 L boiler is installed inside and heats water electrically at 12 V, 200 W.
