I have found a small TT,its a white water classic by Riverside,,it a 2013 150 model.My wife camped in a pop up years many years ago so this new for her,we want to do mostly state parks and natl parks.Now my question and need some opinons,,it has a wet bath which is ok,but it has no holding tanks.You must hook up to a sewer connection or carry a portable holding tank. Im thinking this could be a factor in our decision,,I told wife its a good place to start.We can trade up in a few years.Thinking it over now.

I would not get a trailer that had no holding tanks. Too limiting.

BLM areas will sometimes require you to park only in areas that have restrooms if you dont have holding tanks if it matters in your camping style.

I would never purchase a RV without holding tanks. It eliminates to many campgrounds that don't have hookups.

http://www.trailerlife.com/rv-gear/rvs/60s-flashback-riverside-rv-white-water-retro-150/something like the above ? It shows a 5 gal black tank which is a good start, the gray water would use, as you said, a portable tank which is ok but you need to realize its limits. Go small enough for yourself to handle the weight. When i did it, i preferred a smaller tank that i dumped more often. You could buy a 7.5 gal water jug from walmart and use it for gray water. It would be easy to handle and inexpensive. $15 opposed to $100 or more. Just mark the jug so you or anyone else doesn't mistake it for real water . :E

I found a spec sheet on a 150 model and it said it has a 5 gal black water holding tank. I'm going to assume gray water drains to this tank also. Anyway, 5 gals is way too small for even a weekend trip. I think you'd be sorry if you got this unit and it might be a hard one to resell to anyone that wasn't new to RVs. Shop around...there are better options for you.

Just to expand on my prior post, we had a trailer that had only 6 gallon tanks. We kept having to interrupt our trips to find a dump station. Really a hassle.

I am a serious minimalist (some call me an extremist), but even I have my limits. ;)

New to TT camping I would not start with no black or grey tank. A five gallon tank is not enough.

There are enough new things to learn with a TT, there is no reason to complicate or limit your camping options.

There's no point in a shower with only a 5 gallon black tank. If you're going that small, get a teardrop and use the campground facilities or get a trailer with a cassette toilet.

If you really want\need a bathroom, you want a bigger black tank and a grey tank.
