Portable RV Waste Tank - What Size?

[J Maguire]

Looking to buy a Camco Rhino Heavy Duty 28 or 36 Gallon Portable RV Waste Holding Tank.

Any size recommendations? Or competitors I should consider looking at?

I figured a bigger one would be less trips to the dump station but perhaps I may be over looking something; purchase is for gray water removal.

I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is 18 gallons. The smaller size does mean more trips. Also makes it easier to maneuver and store. I store mine in the front compartment. Also, I like having 4 wheels.

I've been doing more trips to state parks that, in this area, do not have full hook-ups; so, it has been a good addition for me.

Just remember how heavy water is; over 8 lbs per gal. 28 gals is well over 200 lbs to move. Just consider how you will handle it.

Figured the wheel barrow action would alleviate much of the weight issue. Would assume so.

I have the 28 gal tank. Retired delivery driver and have a LOT of miles with a two wheeler. LOL. I still have trouble balancing a full tank , has a very narrow sweet spot. Easier just to tow behind the truck.

Yes, but if it is completely full the best you can do is still half of the weight, but you can deduct what is 'behind' the wheels...

I have the 28 gallon. Works great. Tows awesome
We use it for black and gray and has served us well

Easy to move around when full

Do you think the 28 gallon is an ideal maximum size in regards to weight and moving it around? The 36 gallon would be great but the extra weight in comparison is a consideration.

I purchased the 28 because my previous trailer had 28 gallon tanks

It is big enough for me. I wouldn’t want the 36. It is bigger and cost more

It is heavy when full but rolls okay.

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