Portable waste tank question
I'm considering getting a portable waste tank tote to bring on extended camping trips. I'm looking at the Barker 30 gallon and the Thetford 35 gallon. Both are 2 wheel models and are close to the sam...

Go just a little bigger and get the Barker 32 gallon with 4 wheels. Lifting even a 30 gallon on two wheels will be very heavy. On 4 wheels, there's no lifting, only pulling, which you have to do with the 2 wheels only.
I prefer the Barker because they fill from the top and dump from the bottom with an attached hose. The Thetfords have only 1 hose that is used for filling and dumping. I used one once and hated it. Stuff spilled on the ground and was hard to fill up.
FYI, I've been using the same Barker since the year 2000. I got new wheels for it once and when the slide valve started leaking (last year), Barker sent me a brand new replacement valve absolutely free. I think I have towed it a couple thousand miles (literally), from campsite to dump station over it's life time.
Barker wins in my book by a land-slide! Get the 4 wheel version, you will NOT regret it!
