I have been looking around for a water container (other than jerry can type) for the LC. Would like it to go on the floor in the rear passenger area. Would also like it to hold about 50-60 L & to be able to stack gear on top of it.

Those that I have seen are usually soft & I feel, a bit costly. I have enquired about caravan water containers, but none seem to be the correct measurement for this area.

Any ideas?

I have had these 2x 20L Jerry cans in this position for 4 years now.

Works well for me and I use a 12V pump and 2 way valve mounted in the bonnet to pump them out.

Regards

Derek

Not at all. I replaced one cap about 2 years ago that was dripping.

It has a crack on the thread.

Prickle,

Check out latest 4WD Action mag, for Boab poly tanks. They have a 40L one for the position you require, as well as a few other shapes & sizes.

www.dolium.com.au is webpage on the advert.

Hooroo,
Bob.

Maybe something like this http://www.caravansplus.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=33_329_332&products_id=1341&osCsid=96dd4960786c2757239ee8512f6a9f20

I've just used 4 x 15L square water containers (the ones you get from camping stores) in that space - but you can't really stand on them.

Well that would be good if it would fit in the gap. I had a 60l caravan tank in the back of the hi lux and it was great, just built it in and was able to stack heaps of gear on top.

Thanks anyway.

I put stuff on mine but nothing really heavy. The plastic that it's made out of is very strong

I have used a water tank from Opposite Lock for the last couple of years in my LC. It fits on the floor behind the front seats; holds 50L; has not caused any 'plastic' smell in the water. See link:

Thanks for the link. I have been in there some time ago, but they did not have that or other options on their site. There are some good ones.

Will follow up.

Thanks Chris.
