Typically when overloading I take a 5 gallon cube that I store on a shelf in the back. I have to mount it upright to make sure it doesn't leak, and it is kind of a PITA to get in and out because of a tight fit between the shelf and the hard top. I was thinking it would be nice to have something mounted on the shelf with a hose. I found a water tank at Front Runner, 11 gallons, and easy to mount. $200 seems a lot for a plastic tank though.
Looking around for a cheaper solution, I found a place that sells RV water tanks. A 13 gallon tank will fit on my shelf. Needs an air hose for ventilation because of the thin wall plastic, which I can strap to the roll bar. With all the fittings and hoses, it looks like it will be about $50. Any concerns about longevity using this kind of tank? I've had an off road trailer with a similar tank for over 20 years, never leaked.
