I love how you two are totally embracing off grid!! ❤

Bungee cord for that blue tote!

I have the same water bladder. LOVE IT. I use the white RV water hose from Walmart to connect the bladder to my Reflections nautilus panel from the truck bed. I then use the sanitize function to draw the water from the bladder with the pump.

@ 3:57... The reason it's NOT a "regular" fitting was done on purpose. They DON'T want you using it to fill your tanks. It's NOT POTABLE water.

My hubby ordered a 40 gallon plastic water tank,made a frame for it to sit in and used a rv water pump so that we can pump it into our fresh water tank. It's has been a life saver for us! Didn't know about these bags at the time. Good info Tom, tell your beautiful lady I said Hi from the Mitten state!

Tom, It's a giant boda bag🤪😜😂🤣🥂. I use a 12 volt transfer pump from harbor freight to transfer our water over. I also have another marked sewage. I use a macerator pump for our black tank. Works great for boondocking. Gets me away from hooking up the hole RV to go to the dump site or using the blue bunker that comes off and then gets a hole in it. The nice thing is they store in a small space and space is a premium commodity as you know. We use a product called the IVY bag. 100gallon. Has two ports. Both fill ports are 1.5". So they can accomendate the bigger fill tubes (sewage). Cost is $169. On line.

Excellent water solution!

What you should do when emptying your tanks is do your black tank and then your grey tank because you can sorta use the grey tank to clean out the stuff in the hose from the black tank

I would suggest a maceration pump to pump your gey and black tank . That way your not towing that little roll around. Especially if your dump station is a ways away.

💯 Thank you for the great video...we love watching! Happy trails! ⭐️⛺️

Isn't that hose meant to rinse out your sewer hose? I thought it was non potable water.

I would add a flow meter for filling your bladder so you know how much water you have in the bladder as your filling it.

I have a water bladder as well and I bought an extra 12-volt rv water pump and plumbed it so that I cam pump it into my trailer from the bed. I wired the power ends to a 4-pin trailer plug so I can just plug it into the truck to power it. It also serves as a back up pump in the event my main pump stops working,

That is funny. You have given me an idea! We just sold. Our house and moved to our rv full time. The saddest part for me was selling my waterbed 😒. We have slept on a waterbed for 43 years. I just need to buy a truck and get that water bladder and I can sleep in the back of the truck every once in a while 😂

That is so cool, I think they make a counter so you know how much water you are getting into your bladder. Stay safe and happy camping guys.😎👍

I have one of those, being able to refill my 75 gallon fresh water tank in 2 trips is pretty awesome.

I was just there at Lee’s Fairy yesterday checking out that camp ground and putting my feet in the water. Thanks for the review…. Love that place and I will be going back with the rv soon

Just jam a tennis ball on the ball after you loop the blue tank eye on it.

What a great idea! Such a pain to move rig to dump and refill.

Hi ya’ll! New subscribers here. Caught you for first time yesterday on a “you may like” pop up. Full timing, but stationary just now. The USAF probably other branches as well use huge bladders for fuel and such. Especially at temporary forward operations bases. They could fly them in already filled and transfer from a fuel truck too, The first ones I saw were HUGE! Probably thousands of gallons. I noticed the first public application was for the INTEX round pools. Very, very tough. We never had a puncture or leak and teen boys to young men used it for about ten years. Gave it away since it had paid for itself many times over. We now have a small one. Why not use a ramp to winch your blue buddy inside the bed? No worries about unhitching. A 12v winch might come in handy for many things. A small inflatable kiddie pool could be used for restricting spills. Even though those things are very rugged, I’d consider some type of protection between the 5th wheel hook up side. Swim noodles flat against it and add more as he water rises. I’d be suspicious using any water that is near a dump receiver storage. It’s too easily fouled by accidental waste spills. Spills then leach into the waterlines and storage. There’s about 30’ between our potable water and the dump. I really, really did not enjoy your stay in Destin! I loved my visits with the lovely beaches. So sad to see folks corrupted by a little power.🙁 it’s so cool we have the internet to help us blow off frustration and have good support. We had a similar experience at a park, too. The stress was really messing with my blood pressure. The sites and community buildings seemed to be bugged for audio and they had cameras everywhere! Left there quickly after private conversation was related back from the owners! Good, safe travels for you all. Regards...

Isn't the water hose you filled the bladder with for flushing the sewer tanks?

Thanks for the great video. We love this product. Just a note. You have it on Winterize, but you are supposed to use Sanitize to pump it into your fresh water holding tank.

Awesome! Love your videos & I am not an RV’er or camper! You are such great teachers!

On blue tote hooking to hitch. Recommend figuring out how to use a bungee cord to hold handle on hitch. Still cant speed though. Lol

Bungee cord around hitch

Great demo of the product. Good to know how to expand fresh water intake while boondocking

I'm building out a box truck soon I'm going to use a bladder like that. I'm still learning how to do stuff since I'm basically on my own. Thanks 👍 Happy New Year 😊‼️🕊️

My hubby and I use to have a home made locking mechanism to keep ours from detaching. He was an imaginative SheetMetal and Commercial AC guy. Love the way you measured those “drops” of bleach. 😂😂😂😂

We used our 60 gallon aqua tank .. worked great !

That is great information as funky is a lot of people think that that is water is the source of life. Thomyt

We use a water bladder also. Because our system is gravity feed I had to buy a 12 volt pump from Harbor Freight to transfer the water. Also, bungee cord that blue tote to the hitch or it will come lose every time. One day you will have a massive nasty spill if you're not careful!

Wow good to know now we Might need one

On the subject of stinky black water. We use a mascerator pump to pump into a horizontal tank in the truck bed. then haul to a dump station and wahala! Camper stays put and u can empty the black!

The blue rubber water connection won't last long if you continue to tighten it that much. No need. When you see all the rubber coming out the band clamp, it's too tight.

Another great informative video, thanks for sharing..stay safe and healthy 😊

Hey Tom I always heard its better to empty the black tank first reserving the grey tank to rinse the black lines out! Whats your thought?

You need a water transfer pump and tie off the blue tote so it can’t jump off your hitch like rope or chain or something lol

The water bladder looks like it's worked out pretty good

That was just awesome you have some great ideas

On the bladder one thing to do may be to connect a 1/4 turn valve to the fill. Then it could be turned off before disconnecting or connecting the hose.

Use a carabiner and hook onto truck

Very cool item!! Thanks!

Thanks Tom!

You probably thought of this. Purchase a 12v aqua pump. Attach to a 3' x 3' piece of wood. Hook inlet into bladder. Put garden hose on outlet side of pump. Not sure how your water pump on your rig was pulling water, but that is what I am talking about. Just gives you more flexibility as to where you park your truck.

Tom I think the Getaway couple had a video on their water bladder transfer.

Tom take put a bungee cord around a hitch so that it so it can't come off

I'm interested in using one of these bladders. I have questions: If you don't vent the bladder while pumping off, it should collapse by atmospheric pressure and not introduce airborne contamination? If you only carry potable water especially tested municipal sourced water, would constant farting around sanitizing and draining be necessary? Thanks

Need a pintle hitch

Pintle Hitch and lock the tank in.

I liked this video. How did you use your one board pump to transfer the water out of the bladder

You need a second pump to empty bladder to not wear out your pump premature

I'd use a small air compressor to pressurize it a little bit if you can't use a gravity feed.

I'm not an RVer, I do rooftop tent camping/overlanding, but follow this channel after the florida park stuff, (thank's YT algo). But I like the idea of this water bladder. I take with me 3 Nato water jugs (60L or ~15 Gal) for drinking. I wonder how well this would work for solar heating of the water for showers?

What is the name of the song and the name of the singer you play at the end of all your KZfaq videos?

I would consider two smaller bags, that way if one does spring a leak, you have the other.

sidenote on Lee's Ferry Campground water situation: Hey campers if you are ever camping at Lee's Ferry....WE DID FIND POTABLE WATER connection at the main boat launch to the Colorado River, just beyond the dumpstation where all the rafts are being launched.

Hey Tom that’s great it probably would be a good idea to try and find your water pump model number some of those pumps have a 10 minute duty cycle I was doing some research on mine and found out there are some lippert pumps that are continuous and sea flow

Hay i have had a 45gl bladder since about 1987 it works fine i have just let it flow in and pumped it in if you pump it in dont open a vent let it pump it dry it will get more water out. Mine has never been bad. One thing i thought it would be smart to filter the water going in, bad idea. The water in the camper went bad in 3 days in the summer an had to clorine the tank.

How about siphoning

So you’ve had it 3 years. Do you still like it?

how did it hold up?

At roughly 8.5#'s per gallon.... that 150 gallon will weigh in at about 1275 pounds ! You are not lifting that and I would suggest that you not lay it on top of your bed cover because I doubt that it is rated to hold up over a 1/2 ton of water.... just saying. Also, might I recommend that you fill through a water filter to help protect your drinking water? I don't necessarily trust provided water lines at campgrounds.

They will soon be rationing water out in the south west. Lake Mede is the lowest since when it was filled.

Remember that 150 gallons of water weighs over 1,200 pounds.

In my experience, the water at dump stations is not potable

All the water that comes into our rig needs to go through our Clear Source water filter. How would we do that?

150 gallons?!? WOW! That's 1200 pounds of water!

30 and 15 Gallon all they have on Amazon

How do you sanitize the bladder?

12v water pump with battery clamps on battery ....

Great that you have the ability to get water into you tank, BUT you still will have to get rid of it when you use the water. You won't be able to drain it no sewer hookup or going to the common dump site or using the "honey wagon". In addition, the boonfocking weakness is not only water, but dumping and getting rid of water and waste, power and food.

Where did you get the 150 Gal Bladder your link takes me to a 30 gallon bladder

Do you filter your water into your rig at a rv park?

Water pump

I can’t believe that you used the poop hose flush to fill your fresh water tank and bladder. That is definitely disgusting.

Tom get yourself a pinto hitch and you won't have that problem no more of the tote coming undone

Quick question, I haven't watched every single one of your videos so the answer may be there. I was wondering why you travel with 2 vehicles? My wife and I have a bus conversion and we have been going back and forth on driving a 2nd vehicle as opposed to leaving it at home.

u work hard to rv. I'm thinking i enjoy the septic system much better. less work

How abt just have a RV with a larger fresh water tank. Looks like a pain in the butt to me. My 24ft has 100 gal of fresh water.

I’m

Too much water storage. Water becomes unhealthy with ambient heat. Also consider weight for traveling. Costs $$$$

👍😎🍻🇨🇦

Ummm darling everyone knows..dump your black water first! Then the grey washes out your pipes..tc sweetie...not being mean ok
