Hi - I wonder if anyone could recommend a good collapsable water holder please?

We have a Vango one and I don't know if it's bad luck or poor quality but it leaks through the tap/thread and floods us if I don't remember to turn it upright

I just want a decent (pref collapsable) water holder with tap, enough to provide regular drinks for a couple of kids.

TIA 

The fold-up & roll-up ones are very hard to fill a glass or a kettle from - it takes one person to hold it & turn the tap, and another person to hold the kettle or glass under the tap   We use a 10 litre rigid water carrier with tap & have had no problems with it over the last three years. We sit ours on a small plastic step & just put the kettle on the floor below the tap to fill it. 

It cost us £6.49 from Highbridge Caravans, but has been well worth it. It's the oblong shaped one which most camping shops sell. Easy to clean out too, just a drop of Milton & water to sterilize it after each trip.

Great - I've just gone and bought one of those collapsible ones from Decathlon - I thought it looked really good and would be eaiser than.... yup, you guessed it, the 5L bottle we normally buy before we go

We had a cheapo concertina type when we had the tent  , the only issue that we found was that it would roll if we filled it too full , didn't leak from the tap tho , think it was from the pound shop.
