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.

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!

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.

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.

Durable
Durable. Easy to use. I ordered a backup because I always have cargo in the bed of my truck with the tank. So far have not needed the back up after three years.

Our Bladder Tank Is Totally Satisfactory
We have used the bladder tank for several years to haul water to the RV when dry camping. It has been very convenient and totally satisfactory.
We carry it either on the floor in the back of our SUV or on the roof rack. It is a bit heavy for the roof rack. It weighs about 350 pounds when full but we have had no problem, probably because the load is spread evenly over a large area.
The fact that the tank is not suitable for highway use, a complaint voiced by some reviewers, is of no consequence to us. That is not what we bought it for.
We have not noticed any unpleasent taste or smell from the water but perhaps that is because it is never left in the tank for very long. We use it only to transport water from the source to the RV tank.

Folding Water Tank
We've used our tank for each of the last two years while spending two weeks in a state park in South Dakota that doesn't offer water or sewer at their sites. The bag has performed as advertised. Would recommend that folks thoroughly rense and allow the bag to air out (in the sun) prior to use. We pruchased a small 110 pump that we used to pump the water from the bag to the camper. By doing so the bag can be carried in the bed of our truck and not on top of the cab. Can recommend it for folks who need to carry water under such circumstances.

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.
