Portable Sewer Tank

Where would you store, while travelling, a portable sewer tank of, say, 25 gallons capacity?

Not tryin' to be a smart alec, but NO dump stations along the way, or accessible? 25 gallons is a LOT of "debris" to be totin' around!

About the only available space you'd have would be just inside the trailer door (upright position and leaned against the bed), in one of the large contractor style plastic waste bags.  You'd obviously have to slide it under the trailer when you camped on the way down or needed to use the inside of the trailer.  With a smaller blue boy you'd be able to place it inside the shower area as I know Verna use to do that when she was using the smaller capacity blue boy.

I actually considered this and thought that would be one of the natural things you could use the T@b roof rack for, because they are under 25 lbs when empty. @ericnliz typically you won't carry it full, just fewer runs to the RV dump with your car when your in a campsite without full hookups. (Think Tabazona) Also, considered using a tailgate cargo net or something similar and hook it to the handles in the back or figure out a way to add tie downs to the back to connect it to. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005UGKC1Q/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2X12F63SU8HPE&colid=733TGZDKC8DS

But once I put my truck box on that became a mute point for me, I can tie one down there and I found one that had never been used for $15 and now I'm ready for Tabazona.

Outback platform or tow vehicle.

The roof rack used on outback platform would work nicely to hold an empty portable sewer tank.

I carry an 8 gal tank it's much smaller and lighter when full. Dump every 3 to 5 days. Fits easily in shower in heavy plastic bag.

Here is mine. I only use it for our gray tank. With our family of three, seems like I have to dump the gray daily. It goes in the roof cargo box of the tow vehicle.

Ours filled up with showers for 2 for 2 days and cleaning dishes.  Gonna try 2 5gal buckets with Gamma Seal lids.  Try emptying every morning.  In the learning stage with the 400 and new to us bath, etc,  Our 320 did not have all the new items.
