I bought a 15 gallon tote once. I used it one time at home, then I realized that nearly every campground we go to does not have a dump station, so taking it along was an exercise in futility.
Yet another reason of many to not waste $$$ on an expensive wheeled tote tank and instead use smaller container(s) that can still be lifted & carried by hand when full if necessary. When camping I carry a set of four 7 gal Aquatainers in the truck for collecting fresh water but also have another set labeled for the purpose of offloading grey water, even macerated black water using my FloJet Waste Macerator, so I can collect and off load water without restriction. A full Aquatainer weighs a manageable 60 lbs, doesn't need to be towed to the dump station, and should dump station facilities not be available for whatever reason I can dump the contents of those containers at the campground bath house, even a pit toilet if necessary. It's all about having options, which no wheeled tote tank offers. :( The OP is on the right track, he just picked the wrong container. ;)
