Alternative grey tank options?

[MartMX]

On my cargo trailer, I have the grey water just running on the ground (which is ok for most places I go). But, are there any options for putting some kind of ~small tank under there without buying a big/expensive RV grey tank?

Our pop up camper is the same way, we have to supply the tank. You can get mobile grey tanks at camping stores, and I think that Wally world has them also. However we forgot ours one trip and got from Wal-mart a blue Aquatainor jug to use. It is a 5 gallon container and was about $15. It does the job.

George offers good solutions!

We've used plastic containers, and a 3 gallon bucket (like a typical 5 gallon, just smaller).
Something with a closed top is better though, as there are always enough bugs when you go camping, no need to invite extras...

My camper came with a Barker 5 gallon tote. Lay it flat on it's side while in use. At first blush the price seems ridiculous but it's sturdy, is a pretty closed system & includes the hose.

If it hadn't come with my used trailer I think I'd opt for something like the Aquatainer or maybe one of the collapsible gray water containers like this: http://www.rvstoredirect.com/gray-water-holding-tank-p-3754.html


[But I'm a newbie to all this so don't know much.]

We had the exact same blue gray tank you pictured, it went away with the Scotty we sold, and now have a larger version of it whit wheels. I recommend the wheels!

If you have enough room in a cavity you could use some 4 or 6" PVC in a U shape to create some storage with an outlet on the side and a valve to let you empty it. I'd share pictures but i can't find the post i found it on a long time ago either here or on a popup forum. I'll be doing this on my cargo trailer. Just ensure it is secured extremely well for the weight it will hold.

Bob, boy you must have some under carragie height to fit these under it?
