Increase Water Storage Hack | Caravan Water Increase By 110 Litres | Stay Off-grid Longer

Running out of water too early?? Can't stay off-grid due to lack of water?? In this video we try out a 110l removeable water bladder in our 200 series to aid in longer off-grid trips in our Caravan. I go will go through how it works and whether it is worth it or not. Watch how long it takes to fill and transfer the water and whether or not it impedes on space.

    Great video mate. I have also been looking at more water storage for the cruiser in preparation for a Canning Stock Route trip next year. No funny tastes in the water that you have noticed?

    Thanks Nathan, you are meant to flush it out a few times before drinking but being used to Kalgoorlie water we just braved it and there was no weird taste or anything like that. I did use the filter but only to fill it up not when I transferred it 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    We have been using a 50L bladder for years in the same position - We just use it for drinking water - only negative is going around corners when it gets lower volume you get the incoming tide followed by the outgoing tide!! 🤣😂 also remember extra weight of 100L is about 100kg!

    Hey mate, we love our bladder and have used it probably about 25 - 30 times and is still going strong..... just have to be careful to clean out the floor before putting it down/filling it as rocks will rub through eventually 👌👌

    Our van tanks we can get about 5-7 days depending on how frugal we are with the water... we also have 40l in jerry cans on our car and the extra 110l from the bladder we could go about 9-12 days ;)
