60 lbs is a lot to carry but I'd prob need one to get by....maybe two. I'm not carrying two at the same time, of course. I did see these too- stackable and easy to carry. I could carry 2-4 on my trips.

Why would you ever carry any container? Just throw it in the back of your TV and fill it as it sits there ... worst case you might have to lift it out to dump into the trailer's fresh water inlet. If you want to avoid carrying them then strap a couple of 7 gal Aquatainers to an inexpensive wheeled luggage carrier.



I used to do that back in our popup days when we didn't need that much water but with a travel trailer I instead carry four 7 gal Aquatainers in the back of my truck whenever we're camping and can collect more water anytime. I certainly don't also manually pour water into the trailer's fresh water inlet but instead like many use a 12 vdc pump to automatically transfer it.



A 3.5 gal container would be a waste of time, not enough water all. :R
