I have been using this product everyday for the last two months. I've concluded this tote was not designed by campers. Where to start...first when you attempt to pull the tank to the dump station the attached hose always pops out and drags on the ground, and if the cap pops off you have a mess on your hands. There is no way to secure the hose so it won't pop out. A simple latch would have solved this issue. Another major problem is the tank will never empty completely. Even when picking up the whole tank and shaking it there is always a fair amount of water that will not come out, I would say about one gallon. Also if I am far away from a dump station I have to lift the tank into the back of my truck, It's not so much the weight that makes this difficult but there are no hand holds on the tank and it is very awkward and difficult to lift. Also, there is a poorly designed "leg" that supports the tank opposite of the two wheels. This lasted about two weeks before it broke off. On a positive note the built in hose is nice and the tank itself is pretty sturdy. I will definitely be looking for a tank that is better designed in the future. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Thetford 40511 SmartTote 2 Wheel 18 Gallon Tank" are high quality item.
