Review on 🚽 Thetford SmartTote2 Portable RV Waste Tote Tank 40501 - Efficient 2-Wheel Design & 18 Gallon Capacity by Adam Rogers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Simple but functional. The hose fell off the second time I used it.

Review edited and downgraded one star. On the second use, the hose fell off and the waste water entered the campsite. The radiator clamp holding the hose was loose. Not tight at all. Original post: Simple but functional. A handy feature is a red pop-up indicator that lets you know when it's almost full. It's better than spilling the floor. For an additional fee, you can use a rubber connector to attach to the ball hitch. I use a loop of 550 line and two feet cost me about 10 cents. The wheels and axle look strong enough to drive a truck across a campsite at 8 km/h. I wouldn't use the paddock at Quartzsite 5 miles over rough roads to the junkyard but I'm not doing it this year. It didn't cost as much as the most durable bag, but served my purposes. 18 liters is a lot heavy, I'm glad I didn't buy more. 18 liters was enough for two people for two days when we used the shower at the campsite. Easy to fill with female van fitting and level indicator to avoid spills. No female-to-male adapter was included for a tight connection when resetting. This is my only complaint about it.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Hard to tell
