Hey there Roly sounds like going to be a kick ass tourer.
One thing I thought I would mention (you prolly got it covered anyway but....) with ya poly tank does it have a breather hole???
If so put a hose on it and put it up high! My caravan style tank in the back of my truck leaks like a bastard when out in reasonably serious terrain cause as soon as you get on an angle it can come out the breather hole!!!
Reckon I lost about 30l of water or more out at cruiser park last time!!! lol.
If ya gonna get 3 batteries too I would have a gander at putting two 6v batteries in series to run stuff like the fridge and lights etc. But that is a whole other topic. Depends what you like I guess and what sort of travel you will be doing.
Mine is completely housed inside steel box under tray and secured so no chance of ever getting damaged. Can't even see the bastard.
Roly's is some pretty high tech looking plastic that is super tough. No worries with damage there either.
They are the ones that hang low under campertrailers so tucked up into a 4wd tray should be plenty strong and away from damage.

Cant wait to see this tray set up

Its all going to be seetup with a pressure pump etc from boats, i'll remember to run the breather up inside the header board
What pump are you going to use? I have a sureflo one and it is great.
Heaps of different uses for pressurised water when camping.
I have a tap on mine now so I can either put water straight out thru a garden style hose with nozzle fitting, or put the flow thru the heat exchanger for the shower.
I also have a tap on the inlet so it can either suck from the tank or from an external source like creek or bucket. This has a 4000 micron sand filter so just drop it in and away ya go!
Makes it very easy to recirculate water for a really hot shower or I can back up to a fresh water source like a creek and just fill the water tank up like this.
I think my pump is about 13L/min which is great for pressure but prolly a bit too much for a really hot shower without recirculating the water in a bucket for a little bit.
Cheers

P.S tell them tray builders to get the finger out!
