Keep the 20 gallon H2O tank in my Toyota Sunrader or use multiple jerry cans instead?

[magentawave]

I just gutted a little 18' Toyota Sunrader motorhome that I'm rebuilding and it has a built-in Ronco square plastic water tank that probably holds about 20 gallons. I'm wondering if I should keep this built-in water tank or go for simplicity and use multiple 5 gallon plastic jerry containers with handles for all my drinking and cleaning water?? I like simple so I'm leaning more towards yanking out the big tank and using jerry cans ONLY. Just looking for opinions here. Can you see any reason why I should keep the big 20 gallon built-in tank?

Thanks!

You gutted a rader? I did the same thing and have the exact same question.

can it be plumbed in for easy access washing hands at picnic stop vs dragging out a can ? that would be my reasons to keep it

wash water only ?

Yes the big tank could be plumbed into my kitchen sink with a manual foot pump but I can easily connect a 5 gallon plastic can to to my sink in seconds and disconnect it too. The difference is that the 5 gallon cans are easy to fill and move around and after filling I won't have to then fill up the big permanent tank.

I know my conqueror had tanks that were quite large and easy to get to on the back which we found really handy

guess I like having lots of wash water handy cause of kids

My reason for thinking 5 gal tanks was they're easier to clean and easier to fill at random spigots. The big tank seems nice but mine looks pretty dirty and it's from 1990.
