We carry a small Thetford cassette for the same reason the Tote-a-Tank was invented...

I don't quite understand, wouldn't you empty the grey tank into the dump point before leaving the campsite? So now the only weight is the tank itself, if you fly that close to the wind as far as weight balance I don't think the weight of a grey tank is your major concern.Noggins wrote:SteveW wrote:Common sense seldom defeats ego.
Sometimes it's just a little more than EGO .
For most , and I say most M-homes there's usually quite a bit of spare weight carrying capacity after it's all loaded.
That as well as the extra height of the chassis gives them quite a bit of spare space under there.
With a caravan it's usually to do with not enough spare weight capacity versus spare space under the van .
Yes I know the argument that your only transferring the weight, but there's not always the Correct Spare Space under a van that will keep it stable on the tow.
After-all the weight of the water , either black, grey ( which becomes black after 36 Hrs ) or clear water is part of the weight balance to keep the rig stable.
I have van and the only spare real-estate under it is at either end , now imagine if I fitted a , say 60 ltr , tank under the tail ..................... U(!) Huh !
Or under the front , another big No No !
Me ........ I carry a converted 50Ltr boat fuel tank that I connect to the outlet drain/s and catch the water outside the van, then daily, using a folding hand trolley, I take it to the dump point and empty it.
Yes I know it can be a drag, but when it's part of the rules of that particular site, it's just one thing extra to do.![]()
So sometimes an alternate look at what the Realities Are gives you a somewhat different perspectives.

I thought that was part of the CMCA set up, members only area complete with dump point and potable water. Even if it's a tank they cart away to empty like they did at a number of rallies we attended, that would serve the same purpose.Paramountcruiser wrote:Not all sites that require grey water to be retained have dump pointsT1 Terry wrote:[
