Flexible Water Containers

September 7, 2020 by Donald Anderson

Do you struggle with carrying enough water in your off-road vehicle? Also with keeping the weight low and near the center?

We choose the 2.6-gallon Smart Bottle to hold our water in Campbell. We can easily fit ten gallons in the floorboard of the second row. And having water in multiple containers makes it failure tolerant and easy to handle.

They ride well and we could squeeze in some extra if we needed. They are double-walled so we are not so worried that they will spring a leak. And if they did the WeatherTech FloorLiner would direct it right out the door.

A really nice feature we like about the Smart Bottles is that they fold completely flat when they are empty. We appreciate that since we are always short on space.

At the time of this writing, the 2.6-gallon is USD 12.45. If you need a larger amount of water, the 5.3-gallon is USD 13.95
