Thetford totes

We have the big Thetford tank... I think it's 35 gallons. We've had it for about 5 years. It works great when needed. We dump both black & grey water in ours and store it under our camper on a platform we added. It goes everywhere we go. ;)

As for the Barker... I think it has a side dump valve which would be nice, but then you have to carry the hose with you (as others noted). It's a trade off I guess... both will surely do the job equally as well.

Happy Camping!

Don't forget your 90 degree sewer connection. My first time, I traveled kind of far to the dump station (at 5 mph) waited On line... Then realized I forgot the connection. I had to go back to get it and wait on line again. But I have the 32 gallon thetford, it is nice to have.

When we bought our Thetford the salesperson suggested drilling a small hole in the handle of the trap-door thing that holds the hose in place then connect a bungee between the hose and the handle (not the hinged handle, but the place it's connected). I wrapped the bungee around the handle side and closed the hook onto the cord so it is permanently installed. He suggested this as the trap-door for the hose might open and drag... damaging the trap-door.

I use this bungee to store my 90 degree elbow... just slide the bungee through the connector and connect the bungee to the hole in the trap-door's handle. So, everything is always with the tote... well, except my gloves. ;)

Happy Camping!
