We're not homeless, we're houseless! By choice or by circumstance we are living in our vehicles. Don't worry about us -- it can be a very good life.
Anything that affects us as vehicle-dwellers is probably on topic.

rules of engagement
- be civil
- use descriptive thread titles. Pro tip: "Help" or "Question" are not descriptive titles.
- old-timers: assume people are different and have different needs, preferences, budgets, and use cases
- newbies: demonstrate effort and willingness to learn; you'll need it on the road anyhow. Links have been added below to help get you started. When asking question state your "use case" (what you are trying to accomplish); we are terrible guessers.
- tire-kickers: yes, we've heard that "in a van down by the river" joke. It was hi-larious in 1993.

Interesting blog post. Don't quite get what decanted into the aquatainers means but sounds like you're doing all the good!
I have a 35gal main freshwater tank and two 7gal Aquatainer water cubes. Filling the tank with the attached potable hose is easy, neat, and very fast. Filling 7gal the aquatainers at the spigot is splashy, slow, and they are really heavy on the way back from the spigot.
So before refilling the main tank I top off the 7gal aquatainers in the van from the main tank. This way there is no lifting/carrying and I only have to fill the main tank by hose at the fill station.
Thank you for the explanation. This is great.
