38 gallon honey wagon?

[swimmer_spe]

We will be camping somewhere for a week that has water and hydro hook up. Unfortunately, they do not sewer hook ups, but they do have a dumping station. My largest tank is the black water, and it is 38 gal. Anyone know of a supplier that ships to Canada for a honey wagon that large? I really don't want to mess with half empty tanks.

With my 40 gallon grey tank I can go 3-4 days before I need to dump my tank without any water conservation. My galley drains into a separate grey tank so I actually have 80 gallon grey capacity.
The 42 gallon Barker tote allows me to fully dump my 40 gallon grey every 3-4 days as needed.
I have never stayed anywhere long enough to fill my 40 gallon black tank

The three of us can go a week without dumping the Black (42 gal tank). We do use the CG facilities occasionally (#2..) but mostly use our own. For the grey to last a week (incl showers), I have a 5 gallon jug that I dump the grey in daily and then carry it to the restrooms for disposal in a toilet. I also use a wash basin in the sink and dump that separately. This gets rid of the bulk of grey and allows us to easily last a week.

Well that may be an option albeit wholly opposite of the OPs apparent intention to use his camper for those “duties.”

swimmer, another option if you’re not planning on regular use, see if there’s a local turd burglar that services the campground. Might be cheaper and hitting the easy button to just have it pumped out mid week.

Following this conversation as we stay in a lot of state parks. Question - where do you put the tote when not using it? In a bin?

I think that you need to look at this another way. You did not say how many people will be staying in your RV for one week, so I will use my 5th wheel as an example. I have a 45 gallon black tank and it takes two of us 20 days to fill it. That's 1.125 gallons per person per day. So, after one week of camping, we would only have 15.75 gallons in our black tank.

After a w0eekend of regular usage, our tanks get about 1/4-1/2 full. Our largest tank is 38 gallons. So, I want to be able to dump it as needed and not have to not use the facilities we have.

Having a tote allows us to use water more freely, and avoid the “you’re using too much water” conversations.

Now back to tote size. Yes you can pull the tote with your truck once you get it to the truck. I’ve found even my smaller 25 gallon tote a bear to pull on uneven ground that I find at many CG’s especially state parks. If I need to I’ll make a couple of trips, but most of our stays using it once will provide enough room in the black tank to finish the stay. Gray may need multiple if I chose not to use the CG facilities for shower, or the lake.

there are several honey wagons in that size on Amazon and I believe Amazon will ship to Canada. keep in mind 38-gals of black water will weigh in excess of 300-lbs. There is a 42-gal model for $360 that does not need to be tipped up to empty.

I understand the weight.

Do you have a link?

It is manageable you pull it like a wagon. You do not have to actually pick it up and carry it.
It connects to your hitch ball and you tow it to the dump station.

That would be my plan. No mess, no fuss.
