    Had to cut lower section out of Milford cargo barrier to fit it but very happy with it as it's totally invisible and out of the way. Has always done me well on outback trips but am also looking to buy a bladder for extra water security. Can never have too much water out there.

    Great idea. love it.

    Wonder if it would still fit with off the shelf draws (I believe yours are custom made???), ie black widow, outback interiors, etc, and half height barriers.

    Wait and see when I get mine I guess, can't wait.

    I have an older black widow 55l tank on top of my drawers against the cargo barrier, fits really nice. I have it plumbed with a simple tap (no 12v pump) which works fine, have had it for 6+ years now.

    A few weeks ago I sent a web enquiry to Razorback4x4 about this 95L bladder but dissapointingly have not heard back from them. Thought this looked like a good thing but makes me think twice about their products/service when i dont get a reply so i'm put off now.

    Hi Plasnart,
    I am looking at getting this exact same water tank for behind my seats.
    One question I have is about the water sloshing noise when the tank is half empty as it is in the cabin. Is it minimal?
    I can get one of these tanks for a good price but if there is a lot of noise I would rather make one myself and put it under the wagon and use behind the seats for spares.

    Thanks,
