Portable waste tanks

4 wheel are easier to handle if you pick one over about 15 gallons.

I have a 2 wheeler, but yes, I would say the 4 wheelers are better and easier to handle if you have a 30 gal or bigger. I've got and old 32 gal Barker that comes in very handy from time to time. Never had a problem with my 2 wheeler.

Thetford and Barker are the 2 major brands and both are fine.

Where will you dump your tote? Hopefully not in the outhouse or chemical toilet provided at many USFS CGs.

I have a no-wheeler. Transport on a hand truck. Much less hassle than towing it, if you're in decent shape.

If you want to man handle it into the back of a truck then 10 gallon MAY be max. If you want to pull it with a vehicle slowly to a dump station a huge one may be fine. I have two 15 gallon that I can roll up my drop gate utility trailer and pull right up to any dump station and also carry a 60 gallon water bladder on return trip.

My older rig doesn't have a belly liner so both of them are bungeed up underneath the rear cavity out of site. I have seen where people will hang them on a rear ladder and write something like "Meals on wheels" on the tank but I'm not into that.

For me, a wheeled tote tank proved to be the biggest waste of $$$ mistake I've ever made since we began RVing years ago. :( Costly, heavy when full, still heavy when empty, awkward to clean thoroughly so it doesn't stink, takes up too much room in the truck for transport, looks ugly hanging off the back of the trailer, is awkward to store out of the way at home, and always threatened to pop off the hitch ball as I towed it over bumpy campground roads. :M It only took a few trips before I realized the error of my ways and sold it to another unsuspecting RV owner who also thought this would be his answer to waste water management woes. With the proceeds I bought a FloJet Waste Macerator so I can service my tanks here at home but anytime I may find the need to off load black water while camping I can pump it with the macerator into a few inexpensive 7 gal Aquatainers labeled for GW/BW use that sit in the back of my truck, for a later trip to the dump station. Grey water I usually don't even bother with the macerator but simply gravity feed it into those same GW Aquatainers. K.I.S.S. - no tote. :)

Good plan, Sound.

We have a 4 wheeler and pull it with out jeep. Have seen many 2 wheelers go by that way too. We don't have to manhandle it to use it.

I had a 2 wheeled waste water tote once. I even used it; once.
Then it sat under the workbench out in the shop for about 5 years, then I sold it in a garage sale for $15.
Y'see, after I bought it, and used it once (at home), I realized that anyplace we went either had full hookups or no dump station within 10 to 20 miles.
So, for us, the fool thing turned out to be completely useless. I will never buy another one, two wheel or four wheel.

two comments: water weighs about 8 lbs per gallon and I would never put black waste in a tote. It would be impossible to clean it adequately and where would you store it where it wouldn't smell up the surroundings.
