Title: Where to buy water jerry cans?
Post by: birdie on March 04, 2015, 10:31:30 AM: We've just bought our first camper trailer on the weekend and it has two jerry can holders, so I want to grab a couple of 20L water jerry cans for a bit extra water.

Anyone know where to buy food-grade water jerry cans? We have a BCF, Bunnings, Supercheap Auto, Autobarn locally...

I found these on their websites:

Any suggestions?

All of those plus Big W or Kmart. Just whatever is the cheapest as I think they all sell the same brands.

I was wanting to get some locally so I can have for our local shake-down trip this weekend :) (We are jumping in straight away and using it the first weekend after getting it :D)

Those ones from bunnings you linked too are rubbish in my option.

I picked up 2x 20L Willows from BigW... the local KMart didn't have any...

Thanks for the help guys... now we are stocked up with 110L total now :)

Think I'm a little late though with my recommendation.
