I did detect this kind of flexible water tank inside of a facebook group recently. I really like this solution compared to other ways of water storage.

They are a perfect mobile solution, easy to install and remove. And no water noise out of the tank, compared to classic water tanks.

There I start to collect links to competitors too.

Which water tank solution do you use? Feel free to add a comment here or at my blog - i will add them too.

I guess the water tank gains on priority when you start do do extended trips. For weekends a jerry can is enough capacity for most of us...

I grew up with the big green plastic jugs, and I think that's going to be my preference for a while. I love the soft-side design here for longer trips, where you're staying in your truck the whole time. But when setting up camp, not so much. I like having the stove away from the truck, and having the water near cooking. Also, patching this seems like in needs a kit and some dry-time. With plastic jugs, a hot metal object and another piece of plastic can seal a hole pretty quick.

But I also like the design of the bladder for car-camping, as it's all right there, and out of the way. It looks like it fits on the floor in the rear seat (?), keeping it out of the way. Or maybe on the beach, for a shower setup/fresh water source. That would be a fine use right there. Cleaning might get tricky, but probably not too bad.

All in all, my preference is the plastic jugs. Easy to carry, clean, patch, and store, and cheap.
