Water Bladder VS Water Jugs

So which is better - a water bladder or water jugs? Let's find out. We recently purchased a 60 gallon Aqua Tank - II water bladder. NOTE: I referred to it as the Aquamatic water Bladder. My apologies. We had been using 5 gallon water jugs for some time and we decided to try something new. Here are some pros and cons of both.

Aqua Tank - II Water Bladder:

Pump Hookup Conversion:
IN: 3/4" to 1/2"
OUT: 1/2" to 3/4"
NOTE: Be sure to use a spinner on the input so that you don't have to rotate the bag while attaching.

What a great video guys! We have the plastic 5g water containers & though we would use them. We are so glowing to do this & get a 2nd pump now. Thanks- Chasing RV Sunshine ☀️ Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya

We don't do a lot of boondocks games but a fair amount of state parks are electric only. This is a great option for us.

60 gallons of water 💦 times 8.50 LBs per gallon of water is 510 LBs of water weight to haul so make sure your vehicle can handle the weight. I have the same 60 gallon aqua tank for camping 🏕️. It’s the right size and amount so as not to overload my vehicle 🚗.

After using the bladder on do you keep it from growing mold after a month of non use?

[ytgauser]

I can understand why you wouldn't want to hook up your rig to go get it filled with water. But don't you have to hook it up in order to go somewhere to dump your holding tanks? If not, what do you do about dumping your gray and black holding tanks?

I really like your videos. I'm now wondering how you empty you black and grey tanks while dry camping. those little totes don't hold much.

but the bladder will last far longer than the jugs will. so the cost is over decades, (mine is over 10 years old and going strong. just at home after usage, push filtered air through it to dry it out (mold thing).. my 160 gallon fits in the bed of my truck behind the hitch, and in front of the tail gate with all kinds of room for more junk. like the 5 gallon water jugs.
but in decades past i have seen group's one truck has six loaded 55 gallon water barrels. that might be a over load even for a one ton.

Three years later how is it holding up?

We found this video to be very informative! We plan on doing a lot of boondocking and not sure what we are doing for an extra water source yet. We like the background music. It reminds us of being in Frontierland at Walt Disney World! Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew

I've been using 5 gal plastic jerry cans for a couple of years. I've thought of doing the bladder bag and your video has spurred me to rethink and do it. I already have a spare water pump as you do and it's a perfect solution to our Quartzsite camps each year. The 30 gal one will fit nicely into the back of my towed jeep. Like your videos and will keep liking and watching.

That one is already in my cart to purchase. I like the idea of a backup pump the same as the rigs pump. Was going to use the Ryobi transfer pump since I have several of the tools already. Now I have to rethink all this.
Thank you for the review

Does your rig hold less water than the amount you can store in black and grey?.. meaning you would still have black and grey capacity after you run out of water? Do you guys dump grey on the ground so you can stay longer? I was going to get a bladder but my wife said she would never boondock that long that we would need over the 100 gallons of water we can hold in our DP :) :) We boondock up to 5 days...and then its time for someplace with a swimming pool :)

Just watched 10th episode or so 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[tonykostansek]

SO you cant just use the Sanatize feature or your Nautilus System. or even power fill.

[jacque]

Might be too much weight for cargo capacity of our 1/2 ton. Each gallon weighs 8 pounds. Looks like a great option though.

Good evening. Thank you for this great information! Yes...our trailer should be delivered in July or August; predominately for boondocking. It will have an 80gal tank, but I definitely need to look into water supply. We'd like to get about 1 week of not needing to refill.

Safe travels!!
