Portable RV Waste Tank - What Size?

[Chewwi]

I know this may sound weird but I actually enjoy trucking it back and forth. Just something different while camping

Yeah, that does sound wierd. :-{ )

I use the 28 gallon and it is heavy enough. I wouldn't want anything bigger. I have a 50 gallon black & two 50 gallon grey tanks. With me and my wife in it full time I empty them once a week & it only takes me three trips to the dump station most weeks. Four trips max occasionally if we had company. It also fits nicely in the front compartment.

Just curious, how do you get it from your camp site to the dump station? Roll it down the road or load it in your tow vehicle? If use your tow vehicle, how do you load it in you vehicle? Manhandling into the tow vehicle 3 - 4 times a week can’t be fun.

It has a loop that hooks to your hitch ball and you tow it

Yup. But I love doing maintenance on the rig and it is just something different to do for the day

I pull mine like a wagon; i do think the 4 wheel versions make this very easy. Mine does allow the handle to go over the hitch, but I have never used that feature.

I can't say that I enjoy it, but I don't mind doing it at all. I like knowing I don't have to worry about long showers when I don't have a full hook up.

My one other comment; mine came with a really cheap slinky connection. I ended up buying a 3 foot Rhino slinky; much better quality.

Thanks! Didn’t know that.

One more comment on my 36-gallon Camco. I don't know about other manufacturers but in mine the drain port is on the wrong side of the container. When you pull into the dump station pulling behind your truck the drain port is on the side away from the dump connection. So I have to unhook it from the truck and flip it around. Very stupid design that adds one more maneuver you have to do with a full tote.

It wouldn’t completely drain if it was left hooked on the truck
I just roll it right over to the drain and open it. I don’t use a hose

When it's full can you move it around on two wheels fairly easily? Much like a wheelbarrow? Wouldn't mind walking it to the dumpstation when possible. Is that possible? Or too cumbersome when nearly full?

If you are short you might be able to
I personally would have to bend over to far

It weighs over 200 lbs loaded so I wouldn’t walk it farther than the back of my truck. If the dump station was 100 feet from my site ,which it never is, I still would hook it to the truck
