Tank or tote for use with Macerator

What is my best option for dumping my tanks using a Macerator? Go ahead and buy a Barker tote and drag that to the dump site or get some kind of tank for the back of the truck?

Do they makes specific tanks to do this with long drain hoses? Or do you have to engineer your own setup?

Engineer your own setup ... I use 7 gal Aquatainers marked for GW / BW use. Just set 'em empty in the back of the truck and pump macerated black or grey water directly into them, the most you have to do is lower a full tank weighing 60 lbs from the tailgate to the ground at the dump station. Easy to fully empty, easy to flush out, easy to store, and inexpensive ... everything a tote isn't.

FWIW, I ran switched 12 vdc from the battery back to where the waste gates are locating, wiring to a standard Bargman connector. Since this is a switched feed that means I can preset the macerator's switch to on and control it while standing at the back of the truck where I can monitor the tanks as they fill. It's all too easy. :B
