Started laying out water tank positions in aft dinette bench. 🚛 We have debated for over a year how much water we want to carry, what type of tank we want, and where we want the weight of the water inside the habitat. We decided that we want the water fairly far forward on the right side of the vehicle and as near the center line as possible. We have had a spreadsheet with our anticipated water use, and we really feel that if we can find water periodically, 30 gallons likely meets our general usage for about 10 days. More water would be great, but like everything, it comes with a list of downsides as well. 🚛 When we rearranged our dinette seating, it really opened up a lot of configuration improvement opportunities. One of the opportunities that we liked the most was that we were able to move our water storage from under the bed to under one of the dinette bench seats. That moved the weight of the water forward about 4 feet and allowed us better access to the volume from inside the habitat. 🚛 We have the ability to filter purify our water, so we can fill up our tanks from clean streams and other water sources. For that reason, we actually started leaning towards ease of filling being a priority over total volume. After much debate, we started to really favor transportable jerry cans over a single fixed tank. It should give us the ability to grab 5-30 gallons easily from a gas station, garden hose, spigot, lake, stream, etc. We really feel that this will be easier for us than having a larger integrated tank where we would have to take the truck to the water supply. We are sure that others may disagree with this approach, but we feel like it is the best option for us. The location where we are going to store the jerry cans can easily accommodate a fixed larger tank in the future if we or a future owner decides that is beneficial. 🚛 #wabisabioverland #overlandadventure #expeditionvehicle #expeditionvehiclebuild
