Honey wagons

Debating/looking at portable tanks for the black/gray water. I always check Market Place and I was surprised at how many I found for sale. Guessing many people tried them and found that they hate them.

My MH has quite large holding tanks and this got me to thinking about what size portable tank I want?

Bigger is heavier and harder to handle. But I don't want one too small so it means more trips to the dump station. I want something I can put behind my Jeep and tow to the dump station.

What is your experience? What size do you have and do you wish you went smaller or larger?

Any brand stand out as better quality?

Stock '98 XJ. WE flat tow it behind our MH and have plans to spend time out west. We are photographers and it will be a desert cruiser. No hard trails, just access to some more remote places on rough roads that a car wouldn't get me

Second use is in the summer we will be towing my old wooden boat to the ramp. Just a few miles from the house and while I have a better tow vehicle, I want to use it because of the 4WD keeps me out of trouble on a slippery ramp.

It has a bolt on hitch but it doesn't fit well. It is way lower than the bumper and is perfect to get hung up on a rock. So I had to be replaced. Just going back and forth between a proper fitting hitch under the stock bumper or putting up on a good bumper with tow points and receiver?

Hitch is cheaper but it is lower so it's a good point to get snagged. Bumper looks, better clearance but it is easily double the price. What are your thoughts?

The CAT on my 1998 XJ is rattling like crazy. Assuming the ceramic inside has crumbled. Putting it off but time to get it fixed.

So where is the O2 sensor(s)? Before, after or in the CAT? I could slide under and look but I never think of it when I out there.

Seriously considering just removing it and putting a pipe but wanted to make sure the computer isn't monitoring the cat.

Reolink user and happy with exterior cameras.

Family member with dementia gets up in the middle of night. Want to add a couple of cameras inside with motion alert so we know when they are up. They are a fall risk.

My cameras are wired but really need wireless for these. Just not practical to add Ethernet cables and did not foresee the need when we built.

Do any of the interior wireless stand out? Quick alerts are the most important thing.
