Truck bed water tank?

We use a couple of the collapsible 5 or 6 gallon ones. you can get them on Amazon for about 10 bucks or at your sp0rting good store. we have a couple blue ones, keep them in the cabinet if i don't need them, fill if i do, let em dry, etc. flexible line to the valve / spout to a water pump i have and i also have a spare water pump if if need it for our fifth wheel. not sure how to add a link, but yo can figure it out. Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !

My 5th wheel has a 45 gallon water tank so I added a 40 gallon tank to my truck. There is no need to count the water in your hot water tank because it will never be empty. I picked a tank just a little smaller than the trailer tank so that when the trailer has 5 gallons left I can transfer all the water from the truck tank.

Check out water tanks for horse trailers.
Plethora of water holding tanks for placement in TT, TV, FW.
Order and pick up at any feed store or Tractor Supply stores


slant load 39 gal fits in corner


half moon fits up against a wall 48 gals


truck water caddy for 5'er and goosneck 63 gallons

I have the same fresh water bladder. Haven't used it yet, but it should work.

^This. But I use one of my ballast sacks from the boat. It's a "400 lb" bag so it carries about 50 gal which refills the tank on the camper completely.
Just like the bladder posted, folds up to about the size of a small tarp when empty. Use the ballast pump for the boat too.
You can find pump and bag combos for around $100 and they're very durable. Made out of heavy inflatable raft material.

Downside for me to a single large water tank is where to store it when not in use, especially during the off season when I don't want it sitting in the back of my truck. Downside to a bladder is the inside will never fully dry. I instead use five 7 gal Aquatainers - inexpensive, made of food grade plastic, cube shaped so they take up little room in the truck or to store, weigh virtually nothing when empty and just 60 lbs when full. Mine live in the truck when we're camping so I can drop by the campground fresh water supply anytime I want, back at the campsite I pump it into the trailer's fresh water holding tank - no lifting at all.



When we're not camping my Aquatainers hang off the garage wall, cap off so they can dry thoroughly ... also where they hang during the winter, out of the way. K.I.S.S. :B

Early last year we purchased this one from TSC (Tractor Supply Company). It has served well. I carry it with us all the time, and often keep water in it when site seeing, or out-and-about. I got the water pump from Lowe's. Click here.

I'm planning to use a 60 gallon water bladder on an as needed basis.
Fold it up and store it when I don't need it.

I have four six gallon water cans I got from Wal-Mart, look just like a gas can except blue, that we almost always carry. Nice and easy to store and just pour in as needed.
For the longer off grid trips with more people we have two 50 gal. tanks from Tractor Supply that are intended for herbicide/pesticide spraying. They have a 12 pump that we power off a truck or the trailer.

W#hat we carry. Our FW is pretty limited (22 gallons) so a couple of the blue jugs on the backseat (we have a 4 door truck) work fine.

I copied DutchMan and picked up a 65 gallon sprayer tank from Tractor Supply and installed in the front of the bed, behind the cab window. Plumbed it into a marine grade impeller pump with it's own pressure switch, and used Bargman connectors on the power cord. I can plug the pump into the truck's 5th connector, or plug the trailer 7-way into the pump, running it from trailer batteries.

Most of the time, I run a hose from the pump to the city inlet on my trailer, otherwise I just use it to refill the trailer tank as needed.
