Default Tote - Anyone use this?

Does anyone have any experience with this tote? It's a decent size but not too big and I should be able to mount it under the TM.

I'm curious, "mount it" as in a permanent addition to supplement the standard gray water tank or "mount it" for transport purposes only?

I have a 20 gallon tote I got at Camping World. Now its not as low profile, but it was almost $30 cheaper.

Good point! Sorry, I meant transport/store it under the TM. I had access to a larger tank and tried to put underneath in in the spare tire area but it was too deep and wouldn't quite fit. I just don't want to carry one of these in the bed of the TV or have it visible.
Also I've seen it online about $30 bucks cheaper but that web site did have a good picture and description.

Default Blue tank mounted under trailer

I mounted my removable blue tank under my trailer. It can be seen at the old post dated 10-10-15

Default Carrying a tote

Anyone have a less elaborate way of carrying a 15 gallon tote than Harry Womack. I was looking for a way to get it out of my pick-up on a up coming trip cross country. Any ideas????

I'm facing the same situation as we get ready to buy a tote. We just purchased a Yakima roof mounted basket which will hold 2 kayaks standing up on their side with room left over for a small honda generator, a can of gas and hopefully the tote will fit too. If I can't get it to fit there, I am thinking to put it in a large trash bag and store it in the bathtub of the TM until we arrive at camp where it will go under the TM.

Putting it in the tub is not a bad idea. Depending on its size, I would think it should fit with no problem. We have a small tote (10 gal) and I usually throw it in the pickup's bed if we think we might use it.

I have mounted ours under the TM between the frame rails using electrical conduit beam clamps, eye screws and the rubber bungee cords. It's mounted upside down with the opening facing down. Haven't had any clearance problems.
