We are going to try our first boondocking adventure. We only have a 30 gal fresh water tank. I looked online, but didn't see bladders or collapsible tanks @ 20 gal that hook directly to a standard drinking water hose. Any suggestions ? T I A
This 45 gal water bladder would seem to fit your needs. That said, I don't use one myself as there's no way to dry out the interior of any collapsible bladder so I instead prefer using a set of 7 gal Aquatainers for collecting fresh water and use a stock 12 vdc potable water pump for transferring that water to the trailer's fresh water tank. :B
When we return from a camping trip my fresh water Aquatainers sit on this shelf hanging off the garage wall and with the caps removed will dry out completely in a couple of days :B ... can't do that with any bladder. :(
Why is it critical that the bladder dries out? The onboard fresh water tank never dries out either.
The bladder or transport container hopefully will be no more contaminated than the fresh water tank..which also never dries out.
