Different Ways to Empty a Waste Tote?

I know if you already have a Barker you wouldn't want to buy another one, but I have a Thetford SmartTote 4 wheel. It dumps from the bottom with it's own built in hose and does not require it to be picked up. This was a big feature for me with a bad back. The only problem I have had with 4+ years of use is I have replaced the tires/wheels. The original ones were plastic and after lots of trips to the dump (never over 5 mph) the wheels just gave up. A trip to Tractor Supply and Lowes solved my problem with better heavier metal wheels and now no more problem.

Just took a closer look at the Thetford. Never noticed how the flexible 3" RV waste connector hose can be moved towards the top for filling, or lowered for emptying, both while the waste tote is in the horizontal position--great idea. Explains why it costs more--good design, more functional. If I had to do it over again . . . lol!
