Cheap water supply for OTR driving?

Many stores, including Walmart, have those self-service water refills. They usually range from $0.20-0.37 a gallon. That is what I use. I now live in an area where I can't drink the tap water, so I go through tons of the bottled water refills. When possible, I fill up from the tap from my sister's house also. My husband usually goes through about a gallon a week, unless I am with him, then we can't possibly carry enough water.

 

Your poll didn't give the option I use . I refill jugs at the outdoor spigots at rest areas . Actually , I'm rarely gone more than 2 nights at a time now so I can bring enough water from home .

 

We carry a 2.5 gallon water dispenser that we bought at Walmart. It sits on the shelf over the table, secured with a bungee cord. (I like to boast that we have "running" water in the truck!) I have a plastic pitcher that I fill at rest stops whenever we stop. We have never run out of water, gotten sick or had bad tasting water. Most of it is used for cooking and coffee making in the truck. We have never filtered the water we get.

 

I usually get my water from rest areas, too. I do filter, but I don't think it's really necessary. I just prefer my water to taste like nothing, and filtering helps accomplish that.

Make sure you have a large enough bottle to last a few days. While rare, it is possible to get stuck somewhere without a water supply, and you don't want to run out. The same goes for food, too.

 

At home, at rest areas, at our terminals and sometimes at truck stops.
