Friar,
I use a flat 50 litre polytank that sit's flat in a rear
seat storage area. I got it at Opposite Lock. I have put a couple of the foam puzzlemats on top of it then stack containers of food, & equipment on top of that. I fitted a length of 12 mm food grade hose a a nylex garden gun to it for filling. It's a great
tank and has taken a fair bit of punishment. Just make sure it's
well secured and protected from sharp edges from anything stacked on top.
Cheers Mick

Gidday Friar
I have a 60L poly
water tank which is covered in marine carpet.
The back
seat has been removed to allow for a sleeping extension. The
tank is installed beneath that and held by two ratchet straps.
Because no light can enter the
tank, I’ve never had a problem with
water contamination (providing the source was fresh to start with).
If you want some photographs, give me your e-mail address and I’ll send them to you.
Regards
Kim

Hi Friar
I use 6 10l cube jerry cans starped to my floor, 4 reasons my wife can carry one, its easy for me to carry 2( one each arm), If i get suspect
water only good for say showering it wont contaminate all my other
water and can be removed when you get to a good
water source, and last they were cheap about $15 each made by cospac.

The poly tanks are good but you really need to have two
water storages, one larger one kept purely for known good
drinking water and the other generally smaller for everyday use.
Then when you fill from creeks, dams waterholes etc you only top up the larger general use
tank and keep the "good" for drinking straight out of the
tank.
If you spring a leak in either then all is not lost.
I have seen a shaped poly
tank that was divided in the middle giving two storages.
