functional, not comfortable

We've been using the 22 gal model for 3+ mo, living in the camper (in our driveway) during house remodelling. This has been a life-saver for the value - saved us from re-parking the 5th-wheel every few days. We wanted a tote tank big enough to handle the holding tank, since I really didn't want to overfill - and overflow! - the black water on my driveway & yard. We didn't expect the plumbing to be out of commission more than a month, so went with the less expensive model.

BUT.... the tank is VERY VERY HEAVY when fully loaded, and I have to load it in the back of the pickup and drive across town to dump it. If you have a short distance to go, or expect minimal accumulations in your holding tanks, this item will work fine. Otherwise, there are models out there with 3 wheels, built-in hoses, and built-in handles for towing or hooking to your receiver hitch that are a lot less back-breaking for extended use. (and 2x to 3x more expensive)
