So Surprised! I'm speechless!

I have a Barker 32 gallon blue tote that has traveled the pavement several hundred miles from campsite to dump station over the last 15 years or so. I had to replace the standard factory wheels once, but the tote is still going strong.

I used it at home this last week-end and realized the valve gate is now leaking. It had a slow drip for some time, but now it's become too noticeable. The last thing I want to leave at the campground is my "Scent-of-oh-da-dutchman-da-sport" streaking the road for every dog in the campground to come sniffing over, and every kid in sight going .... "OHHH----Yuck! Look at that!"

So, before hitting another campground and running the risk of leaving more than I came with, which will be in a about a week now, my wife and I talked over getting a new tote. But, they do cost!

So, I took a chance and called Barker directly about buying JUST the valve gate and replacing it myself, and you know what?

Not only do they have the part, but they are shipping it directly to my home .... AND ... no charge at all, for shipping or the part!

Absolutely knocked me over!

I'm still speechless!

I just had to pass good news along!

this past winter.. barker 32 gallon tote.. 4 wheel

both rear tires developed cracks between the thread... called barker..

they sent me both tires/wheels/bearing/hubs/bolts. and fully assembled. to the campground...FREE.

Wife will not pack up stuff so I can take trailer to dump station every 3 days. so a MUST.

fyi, Edisto Beach SC, its 1/2 mile of gravel and 1 mile of blacktop to dump station. each way.

With 128 gallon waste capacity (3 tanks) it was easier to just drag trailer to dump station then making several trips with tote

One of those RV items that for me is just more hassle then benefit


We rarely use ours but I'd rather not be without it. Some spots are a little tight for our rig, and I don't want to deal with getting in and out more than once. But we have a 39' long, 13'4" high trailer, so on the larger side.

That is great customer service and good to know if I ever use mine. Bought a Barker 27 gal 9 yrs ago and it is still in the box. :R

Had one for the pop-up (had no tanks), since we go the first TT we never used it again. My friend gave it to me and his kid grew up and wanted one for his pickup camper so they got it back. Some use them some don't.
