  A portable waste tank that is well designed, discrete, and easy to drain can make your life a lot easier in camp or when you get back home. Consider some of these features as you are shopping for portable RV waste tanks. Any given tank may not have all of them, but some of them are really worth it.

  

  Tough Rubber Wheels - While size is important in a portable waste tank, at a certain point it will become difficult to move the tank around, either to or from the dump station. With that in mind, some producers such as Barker, Tote-N-Stor, and Camco have designed portable RV waste tanks with tough, solid rubber, smooth-rolling wheels so that you can easily pull or slowly tow your waste tank to the dumpsite.

  A Tow Handle or a Trailer Hitch - For those who want to tow their waste tank to the dumpsite instead of having to pull it by hand, a tow handle can be a huge convenience boosting feature. Not all waste tanks should be towed, but some of the larger ones can be. Consult given product specifications to learn more about it, because some tanks can be towed safely at low speeds.

  A Wide Waste Dump Valve - A wide waste valve will make emptying your black water tank much easier at the dumpsite, which can save you a lot of time. It’s not something anyone looks forward to anyway, so the more quickly a tank can be drained, the better.

  A Vent Cap - In the same vein, a vent cap that allows air into the tank as it drains will save you time while also allowing the tank to drain much more smoothly. Not all tanks will have a vent cap but it’s something to look for if you can find one.

  One-Piece Design - Look for designs that are blow-molded so as not to contain any seams. Many waste tanks feature a one-piece, tough plastic construction of the tank itself that makes the overall design much sturdier.

  A Large Opening for Cleaning - Another value-added feature you might want to consider in a portable RV tote tank is a large opening for cleaning. These tanks do, after all, require thorough and periodic cleaning in order to stay fresh, and a large opening will make your life a lot easier when you do need to clean them out.
