Water storage opinion

[EverRidesurf]

Originally I was looking at the flat front runner tank. I believe this will fit behind the second row of seats. Then I thought about the angled front runner tank or the footwell tank. This is the overall idea.
2nd row seats remain istalled (seat cushions can be removed easily at destination sites). Iwould like a water storage tank that will be thin enough and framed in to have a storage drawer system on top. Overall height of the complete set up would be around 7" or less. This would allow a cargo barrier to drop down and be used as the forward part of the sleeping platform. It is alot of wishing but keep coming with the ideas because my mind is working overtime. I will try and attach a drawing of the concept to see what everyone thinks.

Rough sketch but kind of like this

I have been also thinking something similar but want two tanks maybe side by side like that ?

Platic mart has a 22" x 13 1/2" x 4" high. The fj will fit three of these for 15 gallons.

Plasticmart also has a single tank for 11 gallons (35" x 19.5" x 4.75")

As I mentioned before be careful how you design a flat water tank! If the vehicle is not perfectly level you will not be able to access any water under 50% capacity or so unless you have designed a sophisticated pickup system in the tank.

I do agree with you about the flat tank. Still trying to process any way of making it work though. Thanks for the advice.

Very nice !
Please can you tell us more ?

This is what I just built - 17 gallons

Works like a charm. 12v pump behind the rear driver side bulkhead. A faucet and quick disconnect for a shower.
