X2 but I'll extend that to the grey and black water tanks - although black tanks are usually sufficient. These days the shorter trailers are frequently of the "Lite" variety. One way of achieving shorter length and reduced weight are to cut down the capacities of the holding tanks. I found a few newer models with decent holding tanks. But, the champs in this category are the older Alpenlites. Even the shorter models from the mid 2000s had copious 100gal fresh and grey capacities. I compromised some to get the later model trailer in my sig. It is a tad over 28' with 76/70/35 holding tanks (fresh/grey/black).
