Camco Rhino 36-Gallon RV Tote Tank (39006)
Best for heavy-duty disposal needs and long trips where the tote must travel far from the RV to a dump station. This model uses no-flat wheels, a steel tow adapter, and a rugged HDPE body to withstand outdoor use. Suitable for RVers who prioritize durability and transport stability. Caution: heavier when full, which may affect maneuvering in tight spaces.
Camco Rhino 28-Gallon Tote Tank (39004)
Best for regular travelers who want a balance of capacity and maneuverability. Features large no-flat wheels and a built-in gate valve for simpler disposal logistics. Choose this if you need reliable towing behind a truck or golf cart and lighter overall weight than the 36-gallon option. Limitation: slightly larger footprint than the 21- or 15-gallon models.
Camco Rhino 21-Gal RV Tote Tank (Made in the USA)
Best for compact campers and quick trips where weight matters. Its lighter build still uses durable, UV-stabilized HDPE and no-flat wheels for easy movement. Best for users who regularly park close to a dump station but still need a portable disposal solution. Caution: smaller capacity means more frequent emptying on longer trips.
Camco Rhino 15-Gal RV Tote Tank (Made in the USA)
Better for very light trips and minimal waste needs. The smallest capacity means easier storage and lower weight, making it ideal for travelers with limited space or those who regularly camp near dump stations. Limitation: frequent emptying required on longer stays or larger RV setups.
Camco Rhino 36-Gallon Portable Tote Tank with Front Wheels
Best for campers who want steerable front wheels and strong overall stability on varied terrain. The two steerable front wheels support easy turning, while a large rear wheel setup handles rough surfaces. Ideal for larger campsites or areas with uneven paths. Caution: higher weight when full may necessitate slower, careful steering.
Buying Guide
What capacity best fits your trips? Use higher gallon models for longer stays or remote dump options; smaller models suit short trips and tight storage spaces.
Are wheels and steering important? No-flat wheels and steerable front wheels improve maneuverability on uneven ground and when towing, but add weight and cost.
What materials matter? UV-stabilized HDPE ensures outdoor durability, but check for reinforced seams and gate valves for easier waste handling.
Do you need built-in towing accessories? Some models include tow bars or adapters for towing behind vehicles; consider your typical towing setup before purchasing.
Storage and space constraints? If garage or RV storage space is limited, a 15- or 21-gallon model may be preferable despite more frequent emptying.
