If a person has a multi-slide trailer that requires packing up like a Chinese puzzle box, a macerator and a tote along with a fresh water portable tank is the way to go.
For me it's having to put away all that stuff on the inside, like plants, and dishes, and TVs, and anything else I don't want on the floor when I get done.
Then there's the re-leveling, unless I can back onto my leveling blocks exactly the way I was before. And the hitching, and unhitching, and perhaps having to tear down the sat dish if it happens to be in the way. I don't have to fret about conserving water when dumping does not involve moving. I also have a cat, so there's that.
And then there's the unknown of how many people are at the dump station ahead of me. Quartzsite has a separate blue boy dump which means there's almost never a wait. Many campers have utility trailers outfitted with waste tanks which they use instead of moving.
No method is better than another, it's just different situations for each person.
