thats why i have 2 tanks and throw extra on the roof or in boot consider you water as important as your fuel you can live a week or so with out food but only a matter of days if that with out water

yah i thought about just going the 20L jerry cans but not sure how i'll go fitting them in the back and not 100% keen on putting them up top haven't fully worked out where everything's going due to the roof racks not turning up yet and thanks to everyone for the input

Im heading up to sydney tmw morning (bout 3am) Wont really need much in terms of this stuff. haha. I just cant wait to get out on the road with the troll and soak up the sites!!!! :)

ive got a 20L jerry can behind my fridge slide in the back with a hose connection and a valve in it

Actually I think that 20l jerries can be made to work very effectively. The simplicity of gravity feed with attached hose, and then, if using more than 1, being able to free-up space by putting empties on the roof rack is cheap and practical. Also, I've struck situations where those with fixed tanks have found it awkward to re-fill, whereas the jerries could be carried to the water source.

That's exactly how I run mine .. Nothing to break simple and effective

that's true they are cheap and if they break easy to replace. How are they to put a coulpe up on your roof racks?

your racks will take it no problem, just don't forget a litre of water is approx 1kg.............. so all depends on what you're like at lifting weights

Im just starting a build and new to 4wding but my thought is 2x6 inch plastic pipes either side of a roof rack ends modified to take clipon hose one end the other a tap fill and empty at each end no idea how much they will hold just my 10 cents worth amd something im tossing around in my head
