Portable waste water tanks like the Thetford Smart Tote

Do they tow well when going from campsite to dump station... We mostly camp in State Parks and the campsites are water & electricity only with a dump station up to a ½ mile away... We have two 30 gal. grey water tanks so I'm thinking a 35 gal portable would work great to extend our time on site without having to hitch up and go dump.. am I on the right track???

I have the Barker 30 Gallon tote. The wheels the Barkers and Thetfords come with are awful. They’re solid hard plastic which makes for a rough and noisy ride. The Barker is easily upgradeable using Harbor Freight wheels.

Here’s my post on the upgrade:

I tested it out a couple of weeks ago and it was smooth sailing at 5MPH with a full grey water load.

I have the 32 Gal barker. When I as doing my research the Barker seemed to be of better quality than some of the others. I also have 30 gal tanks so the 32 works great when I empty.
