4.75 Portable Water Jug by 1More

YOUR EXTRA DURABLE CAMPING WATER CONTAINER

Your van only holds so much water, so why not carry a little extra. This sturdy 4.75 gallon container is like having an extra gas can for your vehicle. Nobody wants to run out of water in the middle of a boon docking adventure.

Not only does it act as a back up water supply, but it also allows you to fill it up at the nearest water source, bring it back to your campsite and pour it into your van’s fresh water tank. We always carry a hose and water filter for filling our tanks, but sometimes the water source doesn’t allow a hose to screw on. In this case we just take the portable water jug to the water source and transport it back to the van.

The handy adjustable pour spout allows us to fill our van’s tank from inside using the manual fill port. There are larger containers, but at a weight of 40lbs when full, we opted not to get the larger and less manageable size. If you have an on the road fitness routine, you might even add this to your gym equipment.

All the lids have a great seal and we have never experienced any leaking during transport. Be prepared for the unexpected. Always carry a portable water storage container.
