Portable Fresh Water Tank
This portable tank saved us! We arrived at our campground, set up camp, only to find
out later on that there was no water available. Only water was several miles away and rv's couldn't pull close enough to fill tanks, had to be done with portable containers. We pulled up with our 45 gallon tank, spread it out in the back of our Expedition, filled up and drove away. Back at the campground, pulled into our spot, hooked up a 12v marine pump, within minutes pumped water from portable tank into our rv. Everyone wanted to know where we had gottten our portable tank, Camping World of course. Thank you Camping World for another great product.

Could be great but...
When I saw this item in the catalog, I jumped on it. It is just what I want for transporting
fresh water from a source to my rig when boondocking. BUT... the picture and words
definitely imply that gravity is the force for moving the water...no pumps. I do not intend
to carry this bladder on top of my truck, and I can't imagine always being in situations
where I can count on being able to position my truck to take advantage of gravity to
accomplish water transfer. Camping World does not offer a portable pump for potable water that would be a good companion for this product. I did an extensive web search for a pump. Several pumps available but not rated for drinking water. Seems like certification from the FDA is required for pumping potable water. Finally found one. Now I'm looking forward to trying out the combination.

So far, so good.
I purchased this water bladder as a replenishment resource
while dry camping in a travel trailer in the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains of Colorado. I didn't take it out of the
package until I was ready to fill it (my mistake). Only then
did I learn that I should have 'flushed' the tank before
using it. Oops. I filled it anyway and we just used the
water for showering and such, so it wasn't really an issue.
Filling and transferring the water was as easy as one could
imagine. Don't try to move the 'tank' once it's filled,
however. It does weigh around 385 pounds, after all. Also, I
don't think I would recommend putting the tank on the roof
of any vehicle, but I've not tried it. At this point I would
recommend this product.

Lasted 5 years!
Love this product! We have no water hookups on either property where we park our camper for the summers. We have used this tank constantly anywhere from 2-3 months a summer, up to 6 months last year, for the last 5 years! It's had a few patches over the years with FlexTape, which works well. Unfortunately the latest one is in the seam so don't think we'll be able to seal this one. But am not hesitating to order a replacement as I'm writing this! We are able to hook it up to the existing pump in the camper by simply shutting off the valves going to the sinks and tub, therefore allowing it to go into the tank. This is our only source of water all summer long- LOVE this water bladder!

Nice solution...if you have the time
I purchased this so that my family could camp for a full week at state parks that only have electric hookups (I use a Barker blue tote to periodically empty our gray water tank). The bladder goes on top of my Durango, is filled with water, and then I drive SLOWLY back to the campsite. Gravity is then used to transfer the water from the bladder to the camper. The transfer process can be a bit slow perhaps an hour+) but if you're not in a hurry it's no big deal. I love this thing. I've used it many times and it makes transferring a heck of a lot of water a relatively easy and muscle-free event. Some things to look out for...
1. Make sure you have the time to complete the transfer process.
2. Make sure your vehicle's roof is capable of supporting the weight-- 45 gal * 8.3 lbs/gal = 374 lbs of water!

A must have for campgrounds with no city water
Have used twice so far and has worked great. Put in back of my pickup and have plenty of room to spare. Rigged up a Shurflo pump duplicating what I have in my trailer to pump from this to my city water connection. A must have whenever water is not available at the site.

Very nice product
I bought this for our 1970 Travel trailer. We have no onboard fresh water holding tank. I
will fill the tank and leave it in the pickup bed. I am using a 110volt Shurflo pump to
pressurize the trailer so the toilet and kitchen sink have water pressure. The tank is very
well made of heavy vinyl, yet flexible enough to fold and store in the box it came in. I
have used it two times. Once to rinse and once to check its functionality with the pump.
Worked like a charm and will be a good emergency water source if power goes out or
other emergency situations.

Perfect for dry camping
After reading so many positive reviews, I decided to try it this last week during a camping trip. As mentioned by others, I rinsed it out before using and there was no plastic smell or taste. You must rinse it before using! Our trailer has a check valve in the water inlet that requires pressure to fill the potable tank, so we use a Harbor Freight 12 volt pump to fill it. I filled the 45 gallon folding tank at a dump station a few miles away. Back at camp it took about 5 minutes to pump into the trailer. We used to carry several 5 and 7 gallon water jugs but this folding tank allows us to fill the trailer in 1 trip whereas the jugs required 2 or 3 trips. And it takes up very little space when folded up. Seems to be durable and stays put during transport in my pickup bed. I give it 5 stars for performing as advertised and living up to our expectations.

Size of tank when filled up?
Dimensions are 35"W x 50"L x 6"H when filled.

CAN I PACK IT FULL OF WATER VERTICAL
Because the water bladder does not have a rigid enough structure, horizontal transport is the recommended method.
