Brand Preference on Waste Tank

[CampingChristy]

I am looking to purchase a portable waste tank. Can I get some feedback on a specific brand you suggest and also a size? Our stays are anywhere from 4 to 7 days. Thanks for your suggestions.

We have the LX - 35, works great.

We need more info please.
What type of camper (or is a tent)?
Sink use only or toilet and shower too? The toilet and shower would greatly increase the size you need.
I would assume this will be used on a site without a sewer hookup?
Remember it needs to be portable and easily dumped so you would probably want wheels if it is 10 gallon or more.
Most plastic ones will be similar so the size will be the biggest factor.

We've got a 32 gallon Barker 4 wheel tote tank: http://www.rvstuffusa.com/4wheeltotealongsbybarker.html

We chose the 32 gallon size because it was close to the size of our grey water tanks. At the time we bought it, we had a travel trailer with two 35 gallon grey tanks, one for the kitchen and one for the bath. With 7 people camping, we filled the bathroom grey tank in one morning of showers. So we'd let the tank get close to full and then we'd empty into the tote tank and cart it away. It is very easy to attach to the hitch ball on the truck and tow to the dump station. I've also pulled it behind my bicycle and even pulled it by hand when the road to the dump station was flat and paved. The four wheel setup makes this possible. That said, this tote tank is heavy and can be unwieldy to transport and store, so if I was just draining grey water from a popup or something like that, I'd go much smaller. We have no complaints about ours, though - it fits the bill for what we need, and allows us to camp for a week without moving the camper.

21 ft hybrid tt with kitchen and bathroom. I want to go with at least a 27 gallon, but was wondering if one brand may be better than another.

Thanks everyone who has replied!!

We are also in the market for a gray water tote. I did a search on RV.net and it seems that the Barker brand got many high recommendations. We will probably go with the 27 gallon size due to weight and ease of maneuvering it when filled.
