Where to buy water jerry cans?
« 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:

http://www.bcf.com.au/online-store/products/Kookaburra-Water-Jerry-Can-20L.aspx?pid=130119#Recommendations

Any suggestions?

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

Have a look online and get some Khaki coloured ones, they seem to be a bit thicker than the blue or white ones..

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)

I have had a good run with willow brand in the blue colour. Should be able to get from any of the majors you mentioned. (KMART sell them I think)

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

Get your local Mitre 10 to get you a couple. They stock the Willows in the M10 warehouse

Our Mitre 10 shut down a few years ago...

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 :)

Pro Quip green 22L ones are good, robust and food grade. Available many places including supercheap.

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