Most popup trailers use a cassette toilet or porta-potty as a black tank. (if only restroom wife and I have 2 full days) Also they drain the sink and shower out thru a hose connector and into a jug or tank. I use laundry soap jug for the inside sink, and a 7 gallon jug for the outside sink where I do dishes. Last for 4 days unless it is Thanksgiving weekend.

Our cargo van conversion has (2) portable 2-1/2 gallon tanks for the sink (one freshwater, one gray) and we use a "Luggable Loo" with a WAG bag and kitty litter. Look into any van conversion forum, and you'll see all kinds of options for not having storage tanks. www.faroutride.com would be a good start - they live in their Transit full-time and they are both engineers, so have documented their build in detail. What works for a cargo van will also apply to a trailer.
The nice thing is that it's possible to build an "RV" that doesn't need to be winterized - depending on where you live, that can be a huge bonus!
