I have one. Prob over kill for what you want but,

 

Holds 1000L, Has a standard tap outlet & a large drain outlet. Plus we have fitted a filling point that takes a 25mm blue pipe. Was fitted with a new 50mm hitch about 2 years ago & has only done a couple of road miles since. Tyres all look good as does the chassis. Fitted with a towing board / lights. We are using it to store drinking water till we set up the main tank so its clean inside. Looking for £500 for it. Will be putting it on the bay soon.

 

What about an IBC on a cheap trailer?

Make sure it has a pump on it, wouldnt contemplate watering without one!

we have about 10 1000l IBC containers, large hole on top for filling and tap at bottom, you can fit a hose to these and then attach a small water pump, you can get two on a trailer and be towing approx 2 ton. The tap is the lowest point so work well as a gravity fed hose.

Hi we've been looking at IBC's trouble is there for sale every where but the midlands, the closest we've found one is Derby 100 mile round trip

They would probably be your best bet IMO. We have enough so when spraying we can take an extra 2000l of water. Plus they will fit inside a van. With room for gear too. We used to run a system with a tranny van with the tank in the back with a small Honda water pump coming off that. Worked well

dont forget your weights, 1litre of water=1kg, and it doesn't sit still on corners like woodchip
