Found a small TT,,

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.

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.

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. ;)

Find a better TT.

X2.

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.

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

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