Good point. We paid more for our RV than a Ferrari and I spend considerable time keeping the appearance in good shape. If I applied the number of square feet I polish the coach yearly on a Ferrari it would be really shiny and I would not have to use a ladder.

Up to you what you carry and how you carry it. Just saying that it is not for everybody. I will still talk to you if you park next door or across the street.

So your boon docking and fill up your blue boy with 40 gallons of black tank stuff. How do you move the blue boy to the dump station. I think it would take more than a couple of strong people to lift the blue boy into the back of the truck.

Aww... It's only 334 pounds. (40 gal. x 8.35 lbs) That's why I prefer to move the RV rather than all the potential issues with all the extra handling of all those stinky liquids.

How do you lift the full tank onto the Suburban? I'm a big fella, and I don't think I want to wrestle with a 300 + lb tank full of stinky stuff.

Easiest way if the dump site is a long way away, put blue boy in back of truck and use a pump like this: Clean Dump CDTO Twist-On Portable Macerator System https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007HRMYLC..._cXInBbWVJ7P9H

Then when you get there pump it out the same way. Works great had mine for going on 2 years now and save a lot of trouble.

What's wrong with storing it inside (storage compartment)? Unless it just doesn't fit.

I have the 42 gal Tote and I store it in the basement storage compartment. However once it comes out and is filled, it has to be dumped before it can go back in the storage compartment (due to weight, not contents).

However, I don't Boondock - I use the Tote when I'm at a campsite that has dump facilities and I just don't want to have to pack up RV and go to dump station then return to site and repark. This way I can drag the Tote by itself to dump station and leave RV parked.
