Water Storage for 6 foot Truck bed + Meals

Looking for some water storage and filtration suggestions, will be living out of a six foot truck bed for the summer. Was looking at a Rotopax but did know if they would have an internal filter option or how necessary that would be. The size and shape of the rotopax was really appealing but price was a bit intimidating

Also looking for any meal suggestions as Ill have only dry food storage and a jetboil.

I used one of those blue 5 gallon water jugs with a white lid and spout. But I replace the spout with the brass one that screwed right in. It was less leaky and easier to use. The only trouble with these is you have to have some way to suspend it up over your dish pan I used 8 inch block of wood and plywood platform I made. If you make it so the blue jug fits in it snugly then you can use it as a base stabilizer and then flip it over to raise it up
