Water bladder that hooks directly to hose

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

Watch your weight carrying extra water. I prefer 5 gallon jerry cans and a pump to a bladder. Regardless, youโ€™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.
