Hey people,
We've brought a Trak Shak camper trailer and want to install probably about 150L worth of water tanks underneath. Can anyone suggest a good supplier / fitter in
Perth. Also should be consider plastic tanks or stainless steel?
Thanks for you help in advance!
Will.

I too recommend a "distribution system" for your
water supply.
Our Camper has a 59 litre poly tank mounted underneath and is protected by a steel stone guard.
I also carry two 20 litre plastic jerries at the rear sides of the Camper, "just in case".
Doesn't the Trak Shak have 1,746,859,226,369 racks for fuel and water containers?

Ha sure does Sandman. It holds 9 20L jerrys on the sides. As per the other replys we need to hold more water than that.
Cheers mate.

I have to agree with the others !.
We too have a Trak Shak, and love its ability to carry a heap of Jerry cans.
We carry 6 water and 4 fuel, access is easy. I would hate to think that our reliance on water was entirely due to 1 tank, as things can go wrong, and if ( and you most likely will, if mounted underneath ) you hole your 1 tank, you are in a lot of trouble.
The Trak Shak is designed to go anywhere, you are game enuf to drag it, and the jerry cans, side mounted are protected.
Do yourself a favor, don't go there
Cheers MAte

Thanks Bucky, we just need to carry more water as per my followup further up the page. I agree with your comments though and if I was just using it for touring then sure we'd have no need for further water storage.

Another thought here, can you get 2 or 3 of those bladders, put in your vehicle ?
you know the ones ,, like giant camelbacks. or just carry more jerry cans, than the standard 9 or 10
