Great setup, and will definitely look at this water storage solution for the back of my Hilux

Hey Ross. It is a very cost effective storage system. In case it bothers you keep in mind when travelling over rough roads you can hear the water swooshing around in the bladder. Not loud at all.

@@4xTouring Thanks Duncan, i might even look at 1 or 2 of the 60L bladders so I can take them out and flush them out - great setup with the bladders and never had a problem with them on boats

Good video thanks. Been looking for options that are temporary and this looks like a good option. Will take a closer look.

It is pretty light too compared to the hard tanks.

Yeah well done, I never knew about these for 4x4 camping, now I do and will get one, cheers!

They are vert useful. Smaller capacity bladders are also available.

Never knew about these. Thanks!

G'day Duncan, Thanks for some great info. I shall be travelling solo soon and I'm curious as to why you carry your drinking water separately... and how you carry your drinking water. Cheers, Tony J

Hi Tony. For drinking we carry bottled water. When i was building the rear storage area we kept an area just for this. The water in the bladder is good enough for drinking. However if this is not flushed out regularly when not travelling the water can go bad. A little bit of water has to be kept in the bladder when parked so the moisture keeps the bladder material from going hard. Ajanie does not trust my cleaning of the bladder 😁 she is a microbiologist so a bit over cautious i think. This is why we take both. Bladder water is for washing and showering. Having said that you can do with the bladder only. Perhaps a few water purification tablets in drinking water will make it safe.

I'm interested, my Triton is set to arrive next month and I'm thinking of going the bladder over the hard tank too

It has worked very well for us. Also the weight is more closer to the centre than at the back.

Honestly a great water solution. Now...is it noisy on the trail? I have some 5L collapsible water jugs and they can get oddly loud.

Can get a bit noisy especially over very bumpy tracks. Not loud though. But does bother us. If you shut the rear seat might be even better.

Thanks! Dampening the sound would be important to me since the sound of sloshing water is not my favorite. Makes my skin crawl a bit hahah
