Tote Question

[mdcamping]

I've got a few camping trips planned for the year where I might need use of a Tote, I have 0 experience with them so I have a couple of VERY basic questions.

Is it ok to use the same tote for gray or Black water? My thinking now would be to use it for mostly gray, but I might need the tote for the TT black tank also.

Anything else I might need to know that I'm not thinking of?

Right now I'm looking at a Barker # 11104, 22 gallon tote on CL where i might be able to get for $80 or less.

Thanks for your replies,
Mike

Towing behind the truck. I got one of these so the handle would not flip off over the ball hitch:

If you're referring to what fla-gypsy said, I don't understand that either. No, I've never seen a gray only dump station.

Thetford makes a side valve model. Barker might too in their larger models, so check their big ones.

Never needed to use our Barker 32 gal for black, we use it only for grey water and it comes in very handy from time to time. Some folks use it for the black tank, won't hurt anything.

Easy to find on Amazon.

Buy one the handle can be dropped onto your trailer ball to tow to the dump station, they get plenty heavy to move around. Especially on dirt roads in campground.

Always check the rules or regulations for using the tank at the location you are at. Local ordinances may vary on use.

Thanks everyone for your help

Make sure to get one with front wheels

[Old-Biscuit]

Get a big one
Change plastic tires to pneumatic tires
Tow slowly behind tow vehicle to dump station
Black first......dump then grey....dump......pine sol or bleach treatment when completely done using

[LynnandCarol]

First Black, then Grey, then rinse out. We pour a small amount of pinesol in it when it just sitting. No knock you over smells when you bring it out for the next use.
