water tank solutions - water bladder (1 Viewer)

[Surfy]

I did detect this kind of flexible water tank inside of a facebook group recently. I really like this solution compared to other ways of water storage.

They are a perfect mobile solution, easy to install and remove. And no water noise out of the tank, compared to classic water tanks.

There I start to collect links to competitors too. Feel free to mention other brands, shops and experiences here - I will add them there too!

I guess the water tank gains on priority when you start do do extended trips. For weekends a jerry can is enough capacity for most of us...

You meant beer, right?

Seriously, that looks like a nice fit right behind the front seats.

Very very common in Australia (search oz ebay). Even places that will custom make them for not much extra $. I had a custom one made for my patrol back there to sit under a fake floor. Got about 70l with minimal storage loss, in fact it raised up the fridge/toolbox etc to a nice height.

Thank you for adding! Guess for most cars it will be to much weight above! The Land Cruiser 200 can carry 150kg on road and 75kg offroad - so it would be possible.

But for most cars like a ford ranger ute - it is too much - just with the weekender water tank:

Roof load weight and the roof top tent

Roof top Tent: Attention for the legal cargo load for offroad conditions! Roof Racks and RTTs together are heavy...

I would say if my Subaru Outback can handle it on a Yakima LockNLoad platform a Toyota Land Cruiser should have no problem. I would look at another rack

Here's what I'm working on, same idea but instead of like George, mine doesn't need to have a platform built around it. All stainless steel with four baffles in it and can be removed if ever wanted to. I haven't check volume yet, somewhere @13 to 15 gals.

Very cool. If I ever get rid of rear seats that is a great way to go.

Using Drifta 60 l water bladder, absolutely love it, placed behind a front seat.
