The link above is the Rhino 36 gallon waste tank. Please chime in with the system you use and how well do these toe behind the toad to dump station. The Rhino tanks need to have the transport axel modified. The fix is to drill a hole in the axel to accept a carter pin and washer to prevent the wheel from falling off. Also, how do you secure the toe handle to your ball toe hitch?

TIA

I've got the Barker 4 Wheel tote with the pneumatic tires. These things are heavy when full. I don't recommend any of them without 4 wheels. The Barker just hooks to the ball on your truck. Once at the dump station, hook up your hose and it has a valve much like your RV.

Look at the Rhino video. It comes with a steel tow extension that has a ring on the end - you just drop it over the hitch ball (you will need a ball mount for the hitch receiver if you have a 5W).

You can tow these things slooowly to the dump station, like maybe 2-3 mph.

So the Rhino's wheel are just held on by those press-on hub nuts? I can see that disaster waiting to happen!

Like Gary said, there is a device intended to connect the handle to the hitch ball.

Thanks for the replies. I was planning to use an anti-rattle hitch device to assure the toe arm does not pop off when towing. Any other suggestions regarding the tow arm security?

I've not ever heard of the tow-arm ring jumping off, but I suppose its possible.

A bit concerned with the 4 wheel tote and the lack of ground clearance. Some campsites with speed bumps may scrub the bottom?

I bought a 35 gallon tote......during our FTng used it Twice

Found it to be more of a PITA then benefit
Took up storage space (didn't hang it from ladder Beverly Hillbillies style!)
Had to be very careful to NOT overfill.
Heavy to drag from side of RV out to tow vehicle
Then SLOWLY transverse to the dump station
Dump it...place in truck bed or tow it back

We moved weekly.....rarely needed to dump tanks during that week
Added a 4th dump valve on common waste drain header.
With it closed and the other tank valves open we could go at least 2 weeks before needed to dump

Got rid of the tote......PITA
