Bass Pro has one the legs fold.. table top itself doesn't... for less than a hundred dollars.. they have a couple listed.. to find you have to look for a processing table. they also carry them in store if you are nearby.

I suppose the correct answer would put it down the toilet or take it to the dump station, but since it's a small amount I bet a lot of people just "fling" the tubs in the air and let gravity do its thing with the water

If you make a "cutting board" to insert into this Utility tub, you have everything you need. The legs slide into molded holders in the bottom of the sink. The only issue would be if you have adequate storage space.

A smaller alternative would be a tub that mounted onto either a stand or the side of the trailer. A bar sink is also small and would add some class to the project.

For an outside shower I would try to hook up a faucet of some sort because the ball valves are down low and not the easiest to turn, maybe brass would work better than platic. I went with this set up instead of using my outdoor shower since it brings the sinks and faucet to the curb side of the trailer. It gives us a great prep station for meals, washing hands and dishes. Dirty water from washing hands gets dumped on the ground and dishwater gets poured down the sewer pipe. We camp with full hookups. This was an idea I "borrowed" from these forums, I believe it was called Rubbermaid Sink.

Thanks, I was thinking that also that the plastic was hard to turn. I was looking at the shark connections also at lowes thinking they may work better for what I was trying to do. They also have the brass so will look at them also.

I did something similar to this pic,
On our previous camper i installed 2 short (12"or so) shelf standards to the outside wall. I sealed around the screws with eternabond. The brackets slip in/out very quick and easy, making the counter hieght adjustable to different campsites. I used a laminated pine board around 18"x48" that stored on one of the bunks while traveling. It was under the awning when in use, so exposure was not an issue. You could cut a sink into it and place a bucket under the drain. We used this setup for a few years before we bought a new camper, the factory finish(white painted) on the standards held up very well. I got them at home depot or lowes.

For washing dishes all you need is two dish pans Link. Set the picnic table close to the outside shower and you got hot and cold running water. Or you can use a portable table that folds up.

I installed two ball valves, bought a cheap kitchen faucet installed it to the lid of a rubbermaid container, connected it together with white water hose and use two plastic dishpans as sinks. It sits on a folding plastic table beside trailer. As for drain water if its from doing dishes it gets dumped down the sewer hookup in the ground, washing hands gets the grass watered.

Any chance of a photo or three of your setup.

I was thinking of this same thing and did some research and found your awesome set up. I am wanting to make an outdoor shower, run the two lines to a y and into a single line. Do you think the ball valves can act like a faucet and regulate the hot and cold to make it warm?
