RotopaX 2 Gallon Water Gen 2 - Black
RotopaX 2 Gallon Water Gen 2 - Black
The RotopaX 2 Gallon Water Gen 2 is a roto-molded water pack that carries 2.0 US gallons in an 18 x 14 x 3 inch footprint, so it bolts flat against a rack, bed wall, or rear panel instead of taking up floor space. It's BPA-free, EPA and CARB compliant, and backed by a 10-year leak-free warranty.
The Gen 2 build adds thicker walls and a stronger shell over the original, plus an upgraded spout that pours faster and a second carry handle in place of the old bottom latches. The flat-pack shape and tight mount fit keep it rattle-free on washboard and rough two-track. Made in the USA.
One thing to plan for: the container ships on its own. To mount it you'll add a RotopaX pack mount (Standard, Deluxe, or Locking) and its 4-inch disc plate, which fastens to roof racks, bed racks, tailgates, bumpers, and ATV/UTV cages. Two packs can be stacked on one mount with a matching extension kit.

Does this come with a mount?
No. The container ships on its own. You'll need a RotopaX pack mount (Standard, Deluxe, or Locking) plus the 4-inch disc plate to fasten it to a rack, bed, tailgate, or bumper.
Is the water safe to drink, and does it taste like plastic?
It's BPA-free and rated for potable water. A new pack carries a plastic smell at first. Fill it with tap water, let it sit a couple of weeks, then dump and rinse, and the smell fades. Owners report drinking from theirs daily on week-long trips without trouble.
Can I freeze it?
Yes. Freezing it for cold water on hot days is a common move. Leave some headroom at the top so the expanding ice doesn't stress the walls.
Can I stack two of them?
Yes, up to two packs on one mount using a matching extension kit. RotopaX doesn't recommend going past two stacked.
Will it leak on rough trails?
Leaks are rare and covered by the 10-year leak-free warranty. The pack-to-mount fit is tight and rattle-free. If a seep ever shows up, check the spout gasket first. </content>
