Characteristics of a Good Quality Portable Sewer Tank

Choosing a Portable Sewer Tank for your RV is an often overlooked step in preparing for a fantastic family trip. If you’re new to RV travel, it might seem undesirable to carry a portable tank with you, but the truth of travel is that you might not always be near a dumping station. Having no way to empty the RV’s black water tank can truly ruin an otherwise wonderful trip. With this in mind, how can you make sure that you have the most simple, sanitary, and unobtrusive experience with a portable sewer tank? By choosing a high-quality tank fit to your needs!

Picking a tank requires watching out for a few key characteristics. The first of these is the quality of the plastics used in the tank. Absolutely avoid a tank that has thin plastic or poorly reinforced seams. Not all tanks are built in a uni-body style, where the plastic is made from a single plastic casting, but it is a strong feature to keep an eye out for. A quality tank that will serve your needs, no matter the size, will be one with a durable build that won’t be at risk of rupture. A ruptured tank is a major problem, primarily because of the health risks, but also because of the sheer difficulty of clearing the mess. Take extra time finding a tank that is strong, resistant to heat, and capable of enduring the stresses of the road.

Once you've found a couple of high-durability portable tanks, you’ll want to consider your size needs. If you’re travelling with a larger group or planning on spending time doing things like camping, you will need to consider a larger tank. The internal tank of your RV may not last particularly long when enjoying the serenity of a national park campground, for example, and driving to a dumping station could be a matter of hours of driving! Paying close attention to the size of your internal black water tank and how frequently you reach capacity while travelling can help you predict what size of portable tank is best for you. If you are planning a trip, search dumping areas in advance so you can have an idea of the realities of your capacity needs while away from dumping areas.

The final considerations to keep in mind are the ease of portability of the portable sewer tank you choose and the durability of components like handles, wheels, etc. Especially if you are in need of a larger capacity model, having features like a durable tow handle and quality wheels will make a big difference. Make sure to inspect the quality of the wheels on your potential purchases. If the wheel looks cheap or difficult to replace, try to avoid that model. Having a wheel go out on a heavy tank can make transport and dumping a terrible experience. The same goes for tow handles. Inspect the handle and the connection points carefully to insure they are made of a durable material that won’t bend or break while you are moving the tank.

By keeping these characteristics in mind when choosing a tank, you’ll ensure that your camping trip, rural cruise, or beach party on a secluded beach will not be interrupted in the worst of ways, while, more importantly, protecting the health and sanitation of yourself, your family, and your guests. It’s well worth the time to choose the right portable tank for your RV from the get-go!
