Surely a bladder the same shape as a tire tube would fit in perfectly and be nice and low and out of the way....
If it was just me Id fill up a tyre tube, but SWMBO would complain about the rubber taste

I could put the spare on the roof rack and this would be perfect....
Ive looked and cant find one, if anyone knows of one, let me know please!

If your going to use a bladder in the spare wheel well, the shape does not matter you just fill it to expand to fill the space, It just means that you may have to buy a bladder that is a bit bigger than the amount of water that you can put into it. I used one of these



I plumbed two hoses to the inlet/outlet ports, that way I could fill the bladder or take some water by just pulling the appropriate hose out of the car, saved on spills ( not that the defender has carpets)

But this is all you probably need if you're prepared to drink from an inner tube

Harlie will come up with something a bit neater.

like this


Just need to locate a tank, the pump and a heat exchanger and you can have a warm shower.

They have a vid of the installation and typical uses here:
In Vehicle Shower Kit with Blue Heat Exchanger

Thanks, yeah you're probably right about any shape fitting in the wheel space.

I already have one of those heat exchangers fitted to the L322, so thats why Im looking for a good water storage onboard. Warm showers while camping

Thanks for the thoughts on the square flexitank.
