I'm looking to buy a portable Waste Tank and don't have a clue. I would really like to hear what brand and size you have. I am looking at the Thetford Smarttote. Anyone have one? How well do you like it?
Would appreciate any information.

We have a poly tank that was given to us when we purchased our 5ver. Its 45"L X 25"W x 19"D. There is a 2 1/2" fill hole, and a 1 3/4" with a ball-valve to empty. We use a mercinator pump to fill it and have a 10'hose that hooks to the ball-valve to empty the tank. The tank fits between the 5th wheel hitch and tailgate. Its also light enough that one person can load and unload it.
We went to Alaska last summer and stayed on a friends property. We had water and electricity but had to go about 10 miles to dump. With normal usage we could get about 5 days between dumps, the tank came in really handy for us.
I have seen others that use those Blue Boy totes, IMO its a waste of time and an accident looking to happen.

I have the Thetford but really want the Barker. The Thetford was included with our camper but I don't recommend it.
