Collapsible Plastic Jugs?

[VanForNow]

I need to buy some collapsible plastic jugs, the kind suitable for use for water storage, small grey water tanks, etc.

There are a lot of brands out there. Can anyone recommend brands that are sturdy, user-friendly and longlasting?

Reliance is a well known name brand that holds up well, and is BPA free!
They are better known for the blue series of jugs with reversing dispensing spout, but I have 1 of their collapsible 20 litre
containers and it works quite well.

I hope they are better than what we had years ago. After a few days the water tasted nasty.

I have not had good experiences with any brand of collapsible plastic jug. They've all leaked, and taste like plastic.

But, I've been incredibly impressed with MSR's Dromedary Bag (http://amzn.to/2cz2FM2). It's a water bladder. I tend to avoid going into town; so, I got four 2.5 Liter bags which holds about 10 gallons total when all are full, lasting me well over a week. But, they take up almost no room when empty. Best of all, they don't leak at all. Second best, there's no plastic taste. And, third best, they heat up nicely in the sun to take a warm shower with the spray nozzle (bought separately).

They are pricey, but they'll last my lifetime and then more ... watch for sales if you are interested in them as an alternative to collapsible plastic jugs.

Another (DELIGHTFUL) option is to buy wine-in-a-box. They have reusable plastic or mylar bags with pull-off spigots for refilling. I believe most are around  2.5-3 gallons. Let me know if ya need help gettin rid of that wine.
