Storing a 5 gallon bucket is still a pain.
I use this.

Compact when empty. (Only like 3" thick folded up.)
And expands automatically when filling.
And, cheap.

Here's a pic testing it out in the driveway

I like the idea of Collapsible and Marshfly has the Zebra, I looked this up on line not sure it was the Zebra brand but one gentlemen that bought this was upset that the collapsible gray water did not fill very well.  He said because there was no value in it the water had a hard time filling the collapsiible bag.  Just was wondering if anyone was having a problem with that before I purchase one.

I believe I am using the same hose as on the Zebra. In fact, I think what I have is the Zebra, not a Reliance container, as I said before. The hose is vented at the connector, and filling is only a problem if there is a kink in the hose or the vent is closed. That's been my experience, anyway.

Thanks that helps me a lot.

x2, fills without any issues as long as the vent is open and/or the hose isn't kinked.  Whenever we've had an issue it was because the vent accidentally was closed moving the container around.

Yep. I just used it for a 2.5 week trip to wyoming and colorado. The only time I had trouble with it was when I forgot to open the vent. When open, it drains just like your sink at home. The only issue is that the hose that comes with it is too short for my truck, a new 4wd F150 with 34" tires. I have to put it on a folding stool to not stress the hose. Most normal height trucks should have no problem as I'd only need the hose to be a couple of inches longer to work great.

I think "night water" is a phrase related to "night soil", more common in the days when "gardyloo" was heard ringing out in the morn from windows above city streets.
