Off Grid Camping - Black Water
 
I am considering setting up my 5th wheel trailer for seasonal off grid camping. I have a plan for gas, water, power and grey water. I am trying to figure out a plan for black water. I am using a 40 gal tank on wheels for the grey water; should/could this be effectively used for black? Does anyone have experience with this?

Where are you going? If it's crown land you are only supposed to be out there for two weeks max, shouldn't be an issue

Private land where I have permission. I am able to use his septic where I can use a tote to haul my grey water. I'm not sure if the tote will work well for black as I haven't used it yet and not sure how "messy" it would be.

I use one of those blue waste totes and I attach a rv hose to it

40 gallons is a big tote

I have a 20 gallon one I dump every 3 days or so 1 black 1 grey put over the ball on my quad then dump into the septic tank, mine has the same connection as the trailer connect a hose put in the hole than lift up to dump.

I am working on a macerator pump and some garden hose or possibly a holding tank, dumping the tanks is one job I could do without.

if you spend the money on a good pump they can push sewer about 200' through a 3/4 garden hose
