Water bladder that hooks directly to hose

AQUATANK2 Water Storage Bladder

When empty the 30 gallon folds up smaller than a shoe box.

Here is a 45 gallon bladder that hooks directly to a garden hose that I bought for about $100. It folds up into a fairly small area for storage. About the size of a 3 ring binder.

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. :(

I bought this cooler that has garden hose threads on the drain port. Works well.

Watch your weight carrying extra water. I prefer 5 gallon jerry cans and a pump to a bladder. Regardless, you’ll love boondocking! Free to stop anywhere. No neighbors 5 feet away. Orient your RV anyway you want to the sun. Turn the radio up! Or keep it quiet and see the animals come in.

I have a 60 gallon bladder that I connect to my winterizing fitting. I also installed a pressure tank, two large water filters and a bypass valve that let's the pressure side dump back into the fresh tank. That lets my winterizing fitting pull from the bladder or 5 gal jugs and fill the fresh tank without lifting anything.

I spread a few layers of blue tarp in back of the truck and around the fw hitch to cover sharper edges then let the bladder conform to the irregular shape. When doing it that way I may only get 40 or so gallons but that's still twice what my jug capacity is.
