Honey Wagon/Blue Boy

I was wondering how the people with SUV's deal with their honey wagons. I'm stuck on the thought of loading the turd wagon in the back of the SUV with the wife and kids.

Where do you keep yours?
  • ependydad; Your grey tank shouldn't "Stink To High Heaven" unless you're dumping a lot of food scraps down the drain. With just soapy water in the grey tank what's to stink? Myself I always flush my grey tank with Clorox at the end of every year to fully clean it out. I have not noticed any real stink out of mine.
  • I strap mine either to the A-frame or the bike rack! The majority of the people only use it for grey water. I personally would never use it for black water, too much of a mess if overflowed!
  • For travel........strapped to ladder

    For transit to dump station....drag it
  • Dan, black or gray - they both stink to high heaven. :)

    Getting it to/from the campground with the camper- either rear ladder or maybe even on top of the SUV. Otherwise, in the camper door - last in/first out kind of thing.

    Getting it around the campground, just pull it behind the SUV. Or suck it up and put it in the back. When I had a cassette potty in my pop-up (which we used for pee-pees only), I'd just put it in the back of the Durango and drive to the dump station. I took it easy and was usually alone in my dumping duties. We generally had to dump it every other day if I was working from the camper or we had a bunch with us or whatnot.
  • first, the majority of us that have tote tanks, use it strictly for GRAY water, NOT black water.
    not saying you can't but the gray tank will fill way faster than nearly any black tank, in comparison.

    so, i don't have to have such worries, since i would never use mine for the black water. it would take us several weeks of camping, to fill our black tank, whereas we'd be lucky to go 5 days before the gray tank would be full.

    are you a new RV owner, because many newbies focus on the black tank, when it should be the gray tank you should be focusing on.
  • I think the OP is talking about hauling it to the CG - I'm sure he isn't planning on towing it there :P

    How about putting it in a big plastic yard leaf bag? If too big, pull one over the top, turn it over and pull another over the bottom, and then use masking tape where the two bags overlap?

    Load it first, so it will be flat. Or, consider getting luggage racks for the top of your TV and strapping it to them - they are not very heavy.
  • hook mine on the trailers roof ladder using a home made bracket and a 1 inch wide nylon strap.
