Portable RV waste tanks are a lifesaver for campers parked on sites without direct sewer connections.
Basically, they serve as temporary reservoirs for wastewater, and they can be removed and emptied at dump stations, without needing to move your entire camper.
Portable RV waste totes can be a big time-saver for those who camp at sites without sewer hookups for extended stays. Chances are you’ll fill your black water tanks more than once over the course of a couple of weeks.
With portable tanks, you won’t need to move the whole rig when it’s time to dump them out - that way, you can dump your RV without moving it.
