How do you carry Blue Tote?

I guess it would be a lot easier with a Class A or C.

Yes it is... :)

My wife would have a hissy fit if I put the tote tank in the basement. She would make me sterilize it every time, even if it is used for gray water only. Not sure how I would sterilize it, so I carry it in the back of the P/U.

We do a great deal of state parks with water and electric only. If I watch close, the 2 of us can take a hot shower and wash dishes for 6 days. I bought an 18 gal one knowing how heavy they can get and 18 gals will get us a full week. Its tucked in the basement out of sight.

I use the full hookup sites at promised land state park. They are great! No blue boy, no water tanks, long hot showers, and washing dishes with a lake view and pet friendly. Yup!


They get booked up, minimum 5 month in advance reservations are needed.

Have you checked out the list of full hookup parks and those about to be added to the list? It's all experimental, of course, just to see if folks really will pay the extra fee.:R

i only use mine once a year during a 2 week trip. wrap it in an old blanket to put it in the tub. once set up it goes outside under the trailer.

bed of truck, on it's side, bungeed against the cab. goes all the way across but it only takes up about a foot of bed that way

In my pass thru storage compartment also. Use it once or twice a year. DW isn't big on water management:R But I have it if I need it.

I carry our in the bed of the truck also.

I know several posters consistantly advocate hitching and pulling the trailer to the dump station, but I can't imagine how I'd ever do that in three times the amount of time it takes to fill and dump the tote. So much stuff to put away and secure to move the trailer! My tanks are the same size as the tote and we're pretty good with water, so even if I stay a week I usually only have to dump the gray once. One trip and done! The problem isn't that the tote doesn't work, it's that you folks bought too small of a tote. Last trip the four of us spent four nights without sewer or water AND all took showers in the trailer, and still only dumped it once. The better you are with FW management, the less you have to dump.
