Thanks all. I'm learning towards getting both setups. Since I won't have a sink the AT carrier would be a perfect place to carry water!

At most,I normally carry only 10 gallons. I use 2 4 gallon ArmorDillo cubes on the floor, and a 2 gallon white RotopaX. If you want to hold down the weight on the rear wall, take a peek at the ArmorDillo.

Looks like the ArmoDillo is NLA, at least @ REI.

 

A friend uses one of these, which I *think* will fit in the AT carrier: https://www.rei.com/...-20-liters5-gal

 

 

We carry one of these inside with drinking water while the tank carries washing water: https://www.rei.com/...ua-tainer-7-gal

I have 2 of the Scepter 10L water containers which for the most part are great but you have to tip it over to pour water out of it. The Front Runner container looks promising because of the water spigot.

I have only one trip on our Front Runner container, not enough use on it yet to make a valid comment.

 I saw a write-up somewhere of the use of a super-siphon with the Scepter cans. Put a valve on the end of the hose. Once the siphon is started you're good to go. Looked like a good simple solution.

Looking at these 4 gal containers, I can't wrap my head around the size.  They are 20x9.5x13.5" each.  5 of them = 20gal... and would be 100 x 9.5" x 13.5".  My FWC 20 gal tank is only 25 x 14 x 14.  I was thinking I might use portable tanks like these for the PUMA build, but this makes no sense, space wise.

 

I'm thinking I must be missing something here...

Yes, I like them. Bummer that they appear to be no longer made. I have two that I take on most trips. I’m usually around a water source every couple of days. I can include other jugs if needed, and I always have a water filter with me.

 . . . 4 gal containers . . .They are 20x9.5x13.5" each.

1 US gallon = 231 cu.in.

 

20" X 9.5" X 13.5" = 2565 cu.in.

 

2565 (cu.in) / 231(cu.in/gal) = 11.1 gallons

 

Doesn't work for mm or cm either.
