Works great
While camping with our two granddaughters and no sewer hookup, we filled the gray
water tank sooner than anticipated. Less than 3 days. We were without this product at
the time so emptying the tank became quite a task. We were not far from the dump
station at least. I purchased this tank because I wanted something small which could
be picked up when necessary. I do not recommend picking it up, however. I found it
rolls much easier than expected when I use it to empty my tanks. It eliminated my
problem of premature filling of my RV tanks. I also use it to rinse my tanks at home
then dump the contents into my septic tank. It has come in real handy. I always take it
with me when I camp.

Works great for me.
For a couple of decades I drained the gray water of my pop-up into a 5-gal bucket until I found the small SmartTote on sale about 2 or 3 years ago, and it does a great job. I am writing this review in response to other reviewers complaining about the need for adapters to hook up to the male hose fitting. The solution is much simpler than that, just use a washing machine supply hose, which has female fittings on both ends.

“Smart” concept.....dumb ”quality”
I have two septic tanks on my property; neither close enough to where I park my RV to dump. I used this 12 gal tank to transfer black water to septic. Good concept but tank is still on heavy side if full. There is NO gauge to determine capacity. The vent cap AND BASE FITTING popped out on first use. Flimsy. I popped it back but am VERY wary. Thankfully it was fresh water on first use. Also, the wheels fell out popped them back in. I’ve dumped twice so far..... not great but not a disaster.... yet. It does NOT come with a hose despite the manual. They ford knows..... they just choose not to address it.

Portable
This is a very nice tank, it holds 27gal and is very portable. The problems with this are the emptying. You have to pick it up to get it to empty but it never gets empty, even with riggerous shaking and rinsing. The hose has a rubber band type thing holding it in place and it died rather quickly and the hose drops down. It does tow behind the car nicely and is easy to pull. Be sure you are downhill to empty, otherwise you will be lifting lots of weight.

Nice product but not as durable as they claim
I purchased the small one for helping out with clean
water for my outside dog shower. The auto
stop/flush/cleaning hookup is not very durable at all and
if you hook the hose up to it to flush out the unit this
piece (which is attached to a larger push and turn to lock
adapter - hard to explain but take a close look at the
cleaning port and you will see what I am talking about) the
weight of the hose hanging from it popped the whole piece
out and water went everywhere. I was really happy I was
dealing with fresh water and not gray or black water or I
may have been going to the hospital for a a septic infection
in a week or so - if you get my drift. Now that I know about
this I will be more careful in future as otherwise it is a
good product.

It leaks
The plastic casting at the sewer pipe opening has a casting artifact on the sealing surface that means the bayonet fitting can't make a leakproof joint. Besides, you can't drain everything out of it so cleaning it after use is a pain.

Tote is worth buying and a good price
We have used it just once. It pretty much does what it is supposed to do. We like it and recommend it. We use it for our pop up camper so our drain is a standard size grey water hose (not 3 inch) that we connect to the smaller connection
(threaded water inlet fitting) using a hose to hose connector. This is because the tank is designed to connect a
hose the other way to that connector to flush out the tote. The problem we encountered, not a big deal but something to be aware of, is that once connected and draining the large
dump valve must be partially opened to allow air to escape. It is also challenging to completely empty the tote. But not
a big deal either.
In summary it is worth it. The sale price is a good one,after comparison shopping, and camping world a good place to
deal with. Prior to buying this tote we drained into an old 5 gallon spackle bucket. Now THAT was a pain!

Poor design.
Possibly the worst design ever. Who would fill a tank without the AutoStop valve, unless you like spills. Also the male fitting on the tank is the same as the male fitting on the RV so you would to jury-rig a female-female hose to connect to the RV dump. You have to call Thetford to find the parts you need because they aren't listed on their website.

Discription says it has built in sewer hose (Perma Store) then later in description it says This model does not include Perma Store. Which is it?
Unfortunately, the 12 gallon model does not include PermaStore, AutoStop, tow handle or front castor wheels.

How high off the ground is the connection for the sewer hose?
The bottom of my black water sewer connection on my trailer is 7 inches off the ground. Will this tank work with my connection? Is there another model which is lower to the ground?
The connection for this tank is 10.5 inches off the ground, however you may still be able to use this if you are also using a macerator pump to empty your holding tank.
