External Holding Tank

Due to a significant delay in the construction of our new home we are having to setup a winter camp with our 30' Bullet TT at the property by end November. I have access to fresh water and electrical service to run the furnace and hose heaters. However since there is no septic. system installed and no practical way of dumping I am going to need to set up a large capacity holding tank that can pumped from time to time. Need any/all advice. Anyone know of companies in TN that rent/pump them? Thanks!
  • As Oasisbob said but dig a hole 6 feet in diameter and put small rock around the barrel. It will last for many years. I have a cabin and it has lasted 32 years for minimum use.
  • I made a dump station by sinking a 50 galolon drum in a hole surrounded with large rocks. I drilled several 3 inch holes in the trum and ran a pipt to just below the ground. Works fine
  • Macerator pump and a large plastic holding tank.Septic pump service.
