Container Capacity and the Space to Store It
I used SketchUp to plan the interior and put body openings ahead of the framing, floor and wall panels.
My Interior Preparation notes included the shower drain and openings for three water tanks in that preparation sequence.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware for later framing mounts and door trim for the later insulation and paneling.

My Takeaway for the Build
My interior plan addressed three tanks and their openings, with portable containers adding another shape to organize. The five-gallon Hedpak purchase has flat sides and a screw cap. The Aqua-Tainer alternatives add dispensing spigots and change capacity, making outlet access and container height useful comparison points alongside gallons.

Material
HDPE
Main Opening
70 mm threaded neck
Handling
Molded top handle
The five-gallon Hedpak uses a rectangular HDPE body with a molded handle and a large threaded opening. The exact retailer reference identifies the seventy-millimeter neck, bottom finger recess and vent arrangement. Those details help distinguish it from a round bucket or a tank permanently connected to the van plumbing. For a portable container position, allow space both to lift the handle and to reach the cap. The vent is relevant to dispensing flow, while the selected faucet or cap arrangement is a separate component. My original capped purchase remains intact in this materials record.
No. The threaded main opening, vent and dispensing accessory are separate parts of the container arrangement.
Alternative products
Two Alternatives to Compare
The Reliance Aqua-Tainers offer four-gallon and seven-gallon sizes with dispensing spigots. Capacity, container height and access to the outlet distinguish them from the capped Hedpak format.
