How do you carry Blue Tote?
Right now we have ours on our ladder but not crazy about how it looks plus UV, so how do you carry yours?

I only used one once in the 20 or so years of camping in a RV. And it belonged to a neighbor. I had bought about 300' of drinking water hose, and used that to refill my 100 gallon fresh water tank. The campground had a few water facets around the grounds, but not near the sites.
While filling my tank, the neighbor offered to dump our gray water in exchange for filling his fresh water. I thought that was pretty nice of him, it was barely any effort to fill his tank.
My thought for full timing, if I have a trailer, and I love to spend 2 - 3 weeks at a time camping, is to buy a fresh water tank for the bed of the pickup, and then another tank in the 30 - 45 gallon range to carry black or gray water to the dump station. I would have a macerator pump too - actually already have one. The pump will go uphill a few feet. At least far enough to fill the tank inside the pickup bed.
If I kept using a motorhome, then a tank for the towed vehicle, and just dump the tanks by moving the motorhome like I do now. I usually dump the gray tanks in the boondocks, the plants normally need some water. And I bury it about 1 foot underground, so the bugs do not get near it. You can not dump ANY water on the ground in a Federal Campground, or any organized campground, only when you our out in the desert or forest where nobody else is likely to camp within 100' of you.
I can camp for 2 weeks with my 100 gallon fresh water tank. The 59 gallon black tank will last more than a month, and by then it needs to be drained, full or not!
You can extend the gray water tank in a couple of ways. I have a bathtub, and can plug it, use a dishpan to move most of the water into the black tank. I can also save a gallon to use as flush water for the next day. I can also do the dishes in a dishpan, and dump that water in the bushes, just like the tent campers do.
My buddy has a custom 40' bus built on a MCI chassis. He had them install a 100 gallon gray tank above the black water tank, and valves in such a way that he can dump the gray tank only, or dump some or all into the black tank, as his requirements can change. I think he has a 150 gallon stainless fresh water tank, and 100 gallon black tank. He can dry camp weeks at a time.
