Re: Grey Water & Black water tank capacity??
You have the 30 gallons of grey water plus the six per charge of black water. That is going to be a really big blue boy and hard to transport.
May I suggest that you get no bigger than a 20 gallon size. You can dump the black, open the grey to flush the line a little then shut off the grey if need be and make more than one trip to the dump station.
For me, lifting 15 gallons into the back of the truck is a chore, I don't think I could do 20 the size of the blue boy would be outta this world.

Re: Grey Water & Black water tank capacity??
We got the 10 gal size and it is as heavy as my husband would want to handle. Can be awkward to pull over gravel and uneven ground. It is big enough to handle the entire black water tank - which we empty first. If we were to overflow the grey water in subsequent filling of the tote, that would not be as unpleasant. So far we've been able to tell went to stop filling so overflow hasn't happened yet.

Re: Grey Water & Black water tank capacity??
I have been in several State and National Forest parks in the west where you have to LIFT your blue tank a couple feet off the ground to dump it. If you have more than 10 gallons in your tank, this is going to be a real chore. My advice? Stay with 10 or less.

I think mine is a 15 gallon as well. I knew that it would be hard to transport a heavier one, plus they're expensive. This can take care of all the black water and enough gray water to flush the hose.

Rechargeable Toilet
My wife has brought up an interesting question. We are both allergic to man made chemical fragrance. But for some reason regular house cleaning chemicals do not have the same affect (Clorox, Lysol, etc..). We have been researching fragrance free toilet chemicals used in RV holding tanks. I use them in my current one but it has a black holding tank. In the rechargeable toilet will it control the smells that seem to fumigate the bathroom? I know that aqua blue has a scent that is sometimes irritating to the sinuses. We have narrowed our search down to the 2720 SL or the 3023 SL. The convenience of being able to sit on the sofa to watch TV at night is very appealing to us. But it is all coming back to the toilet issue. We always setup for full hookups so emptying the tank is not an issue. I know the toilet has ventilation but is it enough to subdue the evil odors that are emitted from our glow in the dark waste? :-)

The chemical odor will be there, since you always have full hookups I would use less chemicals and dump more often.that may reduce the chemical odor and the fan may handle that. Others will suggest different chemicals etc. but the smell is there if you have a nose that is working
