Portable tank

[docque]

My Wife and I were trying to figure this out. We are looking at sites that are not full hook ups. Water and electricity only. Black water tank will last for about five days but both of our grey water tanks need to be emptied every other day if not daily. If the campground has a dumping facility what are the options to dump without moving the trailer?

We bought a honey wagon when we had our pull behind. I think it held about 40 gallons. Not a lot of fun to pull to the dump station, but it worked well. Google Thetford honey wagon to see options. How big are your grey tanks? Needing to empty every day is really a chore.

Dakota is correct ... you'll see quite a few folks carrying the little "refuse totes" strapped to the back of their trailer for just that reason. One word of caution: I bought the 40 gallon, towable wagon but after you drain stuff into it you have to manually pull it to your truck and lift it onto a hitch ball and that much watery stuff is HEAVY! There are smaller units that you can trundle down the road like a little red wagon, but they don't hold as much. ALSO be advised that you have to fill the tank by "rough-guessing" how much is going into it.

Some sites also offer to come to you to empty your tanks. For a fee of course. Or you can get a wagon as previously mentioned. They come in different size and some have 4 wheels for easier transportation. There's also tricks to limiting the amount of grey water. Dumping the dishwater in the toilet, military showers, paper plates...

2x on the wagon. We have a small (15 gal) that works well and gives your calf muscles a slight pump on hilly terrain but it's ok for an old guy like me. Comes with a hook you can use to transport with the TV. Haven't tried that yet.

One more in favor of the tote. I find it VERY easy to use and rinse clean. I have an 18 gallon, so it's not too heavy and mine easily fits in the front storage compartment. It does take a few trips to completely empty from full, but not a task that I dread.

I have one with four wheels and a handle that allows me to pull it like a wagon. Very easy to pull with no need to attach to hitch (although the handle does allow that).

Here is the link to the one I have. My one complaint about it is the short sewer hose it came with was very flimsy, I ordered a 3 foot Rhino hose that is much sturdier.

Thanks all. I was just wondering what people use. I was thinking that maybe you were using a 100-500 gallon water buffalo.

There's many options available. Keep in mind, the bigger capacity the heavier. I've seen people with smaller ones just lift them onto their truck bed (young with good backs) I've seen others with larger ones hook them on their trailer hitch and slowly rolled them to the dump station. The latest I've seen which isn't bad, is a real large tote sitting empty in the truck bed position ready to dump and using a marcerator pump to transfer. This would give you the largest capacity and save your back.

We have the Rhino 36-gallon tank. Pretty heavy when full, we tow it behind the TV to the dump station. Showers are our biggest issue, a trip to the dump station is worth it.
