Water storage containers - temp in summer sun?

[M Kesik]

Those of you that have exterior water containers on your rig or trailers, did you get white or black? I think the white will get discolored fast, and the black will look better. However concerned about how hot the water may get in the black.

Which could be nice for night time showers or dishes in cooler days. Any opinion on this?

Yeah that is going to be HOT, which will be good for dishes, but might be too hot for taking a shower with.

Expect that to get VERY hot during summer months. If you want cooler water, go with white tanks.
