My first question would be, is there water close by your camp? In other words, can you fill a bladder or jug within a few miles, or will you need to bring all that water from home? I wouldn't want to truck a full 45 gallon bladder too far, but a few miles just to get back to the trailer would be fine.
Yes, that's what I was getting at. The bladders I've seen look like an air mattress, but are made from heavier material. Just like an air mattress, they don't fold up so small after you've used them once.
I almost bought one once. Decided to just go with jugs.

I've seen the bladder work well for other boondockers. One guy put it on top of his camper shell (he wasn't in a fiver) then filled it at the other end of the camp. He was able to gravity feed his trailer that way. I was amazed that his shell handled it, but I guess it did. But usually you will need a transfer pump.
I keep a 7 gallon blue water bottle in the basement. When we're boodocking for more than a week or so, I fill that bottle each time we leave camp for the day, and just pour that in the trailer. That way I keep ahead and don't have to make a big chore out of it at any one time. I can still lift 7 gallons, so no pump necessary.

Flat for bed of truck

reals slick compact one that fits in the corner that would work inside your fiver.

small 30 gallon fits anywhere
I fill them right before I am CLOSE to my destination so I am not carring the extra weight for the whole trip and keep in mind in front of the axle if inside.
We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

If you are in a camp site that does not have water, and you add more, will your holding tanks have the capacity to hold the extra water?
I always wonder why there is such a major mis-balance.
My trailer has 150 gallons of fresh and 10 gallons of hot water heater and only 1 40 gal grey and 1 40 gal black.
Am I supposed to the drink the balance? haha
