water where's everyone else got it

[Sir Roofy]

if you are travelling somewhere where the water you bring is the only water, it is worth considering several small containers rather than one large container.

This minimises the consequences of a leak or contamination of a container.

If travelling in a group, and all take a bit extra, this also helps manage this risk.

its like the old saying dont put all your eggs in the same basket

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

[teleman]

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

[sr06]

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
