Non-plastic water storage options

I use dromedary bags from MSR. Work great and are easy to store when empty.
That said, using corney kegs is a fantastic idea. You can safely and easily pressurize for shower, cleaning, or even fire extinguishing. The downside is they don't tie down easily, maybe it's best to strap them down on their side and or build a containment cage.

I used French military surplus 10 liter wine cans for years, they fit well in a jerry can holder over the rear fender wells of old Jeeps;
Blitz used to make lined 5 gallon jerry cans for potable water but they are a rare bird today.
I have also dealt with rubber water bladders they work but leave a taste.
I find nothing wrong with Sceptre water carries in either 10 or 20 liter styles (I use both).
Enjoy!

I just adapted a Cornelius keg for water storage. For a quick test, I pressurized it to about 15PSI and it works great. I would expect this will be great for washing stuff, spraying off bikes/kids/whatever, and drinking water.
I am going to pair this up with my ARB air compressor for camp use. My plan is to use the air compressor setting for max pressure so I don't need a regulator on the keg itself. I am shopping for fittings to make it useful around camp (on/off valve, sprayer head, fittings for charging it).
I'll post up pics when I get it working (or not working). Thanks for the idea all!

If you have any space inside the truck then make a full sized mock-up from cardboard to ensure a good fit. Once you're happy you can then get it fabricated in either aluminium or stainless steel and have it covered with automotive carpet.
This stainless tank has slosh baffles inside, has three cleaning ports and a filler cap...fabricated by a local guy close to where I live.
