Our TV is an SUV so storing it in the TV is out. We do not have a ladder on the back of the TT. Not sure if it would be an issue to store it in one of the exterior storage compartments or not. So I am just curious if anyone has any suggestions on where to store this should I purchase one.

Summer heat and decaying waste produces gasses that can expand, bloat the tank, and leak into your RV. I've seen many of them on racks mounted on the rear bumper, or have added receiver with one of those hitch mount racks. Good luck! popeyemth • View posts owensboro ky Senior Member Joined: 08/19/2010 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 01/27/12 10:09pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator you normally use these for GREY water as that tank fills many times faster than black tanks. grey water is almost 100% soapy water and if you rinse the tank at the dump station, they dont smell.

As another stated, we only used it for grey water so there was no smell. We would take it out once we got to our destination.

If your TV has a roof rack, you could carry it up there. Thetford makes a grey one that wouldn't be as conspicuous as the blues you see around. Folks would probably think it was a luggage carrier!

Under the RV, between the two I- beams. Installed two strips of flat iron, held in place with bolt with holes and cotter pins for easy removal. I also added a couple of heavy duty bungie straps for added security. I only use my 35 gallon tote once or twice a year and this set up seems to be a good solution. * This post was last edited 01/28/12 06:42am by Southwind98 *   View edit history Will & Michelle 2008 Fleetwood Bounder 38P 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 1990 Jeep Wrangler Bluefreight • View posts east coast Senior Member Joined: 06/03/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/28/12 07:10am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator we stored ours under the 5er next to the spare tire. Never used it. Carried it to drain truck oil into, just in case I couldn't find a Cat dealer.
