Just came across this idea today - looks like a pretty elegant solution.

Their pressurized water tank is an awesome idea, I thought this system would work and had plans for an experiment using a cylinder from a jet toilet (of all things). Water under pressure with no pump is one less part to fail, but there are some serious downsides, mainly the cylinders are very complicated and the output pressure is the same as the fill/input pressure and there is a minimum and maximum working pressure. You have to fill it under pressure from a city supply, this excludes lakes and streams and many third world water sources. Of course you could have a pump but that puts you back at square one.

That's how my 1959 Airstream is set up. Has a 40gallon tank with a Grover Air pump and a schrader valve on the fill neck so you could pressurize with a bicycle pump if you didn't have the optional 12v Grover. When at a campground you would just hook the water line right up and that had you under pressure with a full tank when ready to leave.

Out put pressure could be regulated with a simple drip irrigation pressure regulator.

If you have OBA you could fill from a lake or stream and run a line from your OBA system storage tank or CO2 tank to the water storage tank.
