Sewer tote

I can see down the road of needing one of the portable black/gray water tank totes. With 30 & 36 gallon tanks what is a good size to purchase if you are camping for saw a week or two? Any brand stand out to pull behind a vehicle to the dump station? I see a lot of Thedford units.

Pretty much the same as TT.. a week? dump on the way out. 2 of us in the Pod. Black has never  been an issue under 12 days or so. Grey.. more of an issue, 6-7 days max. Navy showers are key, and using paper to reduce dish washing.

About your tote. Can you pull it with your vehicle?

If you're asking me, yes.  But I wouldn't want to tow it far, and I feel like you need to go at slower than walking pace.  And here's another thing: where I am now I brought my tote and I used it today out of an abundance of caution.  The campground I'm staying at doesn't have a dump station so I have to go about 10 miles up the road to dump.  No way I'm towing my tote full of crap down the highway!  But I have a solution for that.  I loaded it on to my front-bumper mounted cargo carrier.  Thirty gallons of crap is a lot to lift onto a cargo carrier, but I did it.  Just about any kind of camping has a lot to do with making compromises.

All in all, I think sewage totes are made more for the folks who stay in one spot all summer.

Everyone is different, and to each his own, but if you're filling up your gray tank in 2.5 days you might want to look into serious water conservation practices -- or, and a whole lot of people go this route -- stay somewhere with full hookups.  I do that sometimes, mostly when I have no other choice, and it's a really nice luxury.

Per a quick Google search, it is towable if you get the towing strap which is sold separately.
