Hi wombat,
Stick it in a 19ltr corny keg, you can get 'em for around the same price as the jerry can looking contraption!
All the best on your travels, drive safe.
Cheers

I second the corny keg .
Small footprint , easy to carry around , 100% sealed and strong.
And , you don’t have to stick to the true corny ball lock , the pin lock are cheaper or there are the weird topped ones (Coke maybe) that are heaps cheaper

If you fill them and give them a shake , they will seal if the seals are good .
I do this all the time with nappy San

Update -
We eventually got going - Things changed a little - originally going up the guts - but inlaw bit crook in Perth so we reversed the trip and thats where we headed -
We are at Chidlow - Perth
The 2 cornys travelled well - had to take a suck on the plastic tube - all good - didnt get any 90 in the gob -
I had to weigh a few things up - cant take all me oaked stuff so ended up going with the flavour the female boss likes - just with water - Still spirit Top Shelf Aussie Gold Rum - Maybe here for another week - then head north via Geraldton -
Thanks again all for ya input - ^:)^
