Blue Boy

If you open your options to not staying exclusively in campgrounds with full hook ups, then the blue boy can come in handy. We stayed in a variety of public campgrounds that had no hook ups. It is nice to have the ability to dump tanks if you need to without hooking up and driving to a dump station.

Thanks for each & every response, once we start packing the truck I will see how the room goes. We have a pick up with a 8' bed, & a tool box in the front of the bed. The blue boy fits in the front of the bed, under the tool box, so it looks like I'll be taking it for a ride.

As I've posted before, my experience in Alaska does not include much RV'ng, but plenty of time (5 decades!) driving the roads. There's quite a few dump stations around. If you'll be in one spot for a long time, the blue boy may save a unhook/dump/hookup experience, but other than that, I'd guess you'll find enough dump stations not to need the tote.

Only take it if you plan to be parked in one spot long enough to need it. I hauled one there and never used it.

Dump stations are readily available as you travel. Many gas stations have them. How long can you normally go without dumping? Will you be boondocking for a long time? There are many, many rental RVs on the roads and none of them carry blue boys and I would imagine they have smaller tanks than you. We never had an issue finding a dump station. I wouldn't bother with it.

My "blue boy" travels wherever we go. Helpful when needed...light weight. Why not?

We will be taking ours. This is our second trip. At camp on the Klutina for a month fishing it really comes in handy. If not in the way and you have room, recommend taking it.
