Good Stuff!!I have found Pilot/Flying J a pretty good option if there are any on your route. We always run an inline filter between the fill source and the tank. As some of our fill sources may be questionable, we do not drink the water from our storage tank.
We carry our potable water in rotopax with AT Overland holders. These mount to the jack brackets. We have found that water is the best thing to put in there as the rotopax filled with fuel swell and are impossible to get out! Water jugs do not have this problem.

AT Overland Rotopax Holder for GEN 2 Rotopax
The AT Overland Rotopax Holder is designed specifically for the Gen-2, 2 Gallon Rotopax container and fits Four Wheel Campers or any camper using the 13” Rieco Titan HD Corner Bracket system. The holder fits both right and left side on the rear bracket of a slide-in or flatbed camper, and on the...atoverland.com
We also have a water bandit that allows us to "borrow" water from any sink or those pesky hose bibs that have no threads.
I recently purchased and have been using an inline fill meter. We need to be mindful of our weight and the readings from our water tank gauge in the camper are inaccurate and vague at best. This unit allows me to see how much water I put in. This is helpful on short one or two day trips when 5 gallon or so is a sufficient amount for dishes and quick "navy showers".
We use ALL the water in our 30 gal (custom) water tank... how the heck to carry enough water in Rotopax containers to cover an extended boondock?I have found Pilot/Flying J a pretty good option if there are any on your route.

Rotopax is only for drinking water. Longer trips we also bring a large Gott water cooler.

I typically use the Camco.
of course. That's what it is for.Sorry, but I have a maybe silly question:
Do you really use the water from the water-tank for drinking? We don't even do that from our private camper.
Sorry, but I have a maybe silly question:
Do you really use the water from the water-tank for drinking? We don't even do that from our private camper. We use this water only for dish-washing and showering. For drinking and cooking we always have a lot of bottles/canisterers , filled with trinking water and refilled whenever we can.
I feel much safer this way, because I cannot see what is inside the water-tank, maybe there is contamination, dirt, or even mold?
