Compare Water Tanks

Your own Van lifestyle largely determines the size of the water tank. In this guide, I focus on long-term off-grid camping, thus my preference for the larger sizes; if you will use the van only on short trips or from campground to campground, you’re better off with a smaller size.

Cost often plays a role too, with price differences of sometimes 300% – 400%. A sturdier tank and extra features like interior baffles or special molds frequently account for that increase.

When you finally make the purchase, be sure the tank has the appropriate holes and whether the fittings are included or not.
