So your issue is that you are not going to be able to pull it to the TV to hitch it up when full? That would be about 350 lbs. I'm not a weakling, but I would not want to try that. You could either keep it or send it back for a smaller one if you will realize significant savings and don't have to pay return shipping fees. Your gray water most likely will need to be emptied, but if your black tank is 42 gallons, you should be able to go for more than a week before filling it up - depending on the number of people I guess. And I don't bring mine if I'm going to a full hookup site.
sadly - i hadn't even THOUGHT of that wrinkle as a possibility - but yes, i suppose that could be an issue. in a tight spot, how does one maneuver a big truck to get to the tank, or what are the alternatives? I didn't research this as I just assumed it would be cut and dry.
You typically have to pull the tank from the place where your filling it to the truck and drop the handle onto the ball. Some tanks have pneumatic tires which would make life a little easier, but I still would not want to pull yours to my truck when full. you could get by with filling it half way or return it and get a smaller one. I really don't have any issues using mine. I rarely have to empty the black tank and it usually takes me 2 trips to do the gray. Yes, you have to drive slow, but I enjoy doing so waving at all the old timers pointing at me. These tanks are nice because in a pinch, when you realize in the evening that your tank is filled to the point that you cant wash dishes or take a shower, you can just fill the tote up and take it to the dump station in the morning.
