water storage

Do you have a link to those, BD? I couldn't find them on Equipt's page. I just ordered an 18gal Valterra tank for my M100 trailer. Not sure if I want to use a SurFlo pump, hand pump, or simple gravity feed. I think AT is using the Valterra Rocket Pump on theirs, and I may just go that route. I'm not entirely sure how they have the pump mounted, as it's intended use is through a countertop, rather than directly through the tank. Anyone know?

Currently I use a NATO -sized 23 litres/5 gals jerry can, but it's semi-clear light blue plastic and has a bung near the bottom which takes a tap. I put the can on the roof rack and add a metre of hose that pushes onto the tap outlet - voila, gravity fed water on tap!........Also for more I sometimes carry a collapsible plastic version of the same/similar (80 litres I think) that is roped/strapped behind the back seat, I got that from ARB. I use a little 12Volt utility pump to put water from the bottom to the top tank when finally camped........I'm always mindful of the weight of water, especially up high!

Rememeber: A pint of pure water,
Weighs a pound and a quarter.

or the metric verse doesn't come out as good :

One litre = one kilogram,
100 ml = 100 mgm
