    Recently I have been refilling the bladder out of a 10 lt water cask from the supermarket. It's out of the box and lays on the floor well in the back perfectly . Works a treat! $$$$$$free$$$$$$
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    i have found in brilliant to be honest.... they are really well made, i bought 2 of those really cheap camp mats (cheap crappy foam mattress's that roll up) and pad lay that on the floor and up the sides so there is absolutely no risk of puncture but the are very duarable and mould to where ever they are and depepnding on how long you are away depends how much water to fill it!!! and no plastic taste either!!! highly recommend them, and they will last for ever if cared for!!

    Hey mate, what kind of trip and length do you plan for?

    After 20 years of family trips I'm slowly learning that I over compensate for the basics and come home with 4 days of food and water, etc.

    I'm no expert in necessities but when we all do the one week trips I always come with too much and carry way too much weight.

    I would love to plan myself better on trips!

    A good managed plan with realistic consumption is what we need. If anyone has a good method I would love to hear about it too.
