Abstract

The invention provides a system and apparatus to fill, transport and discharge up to 50 or more gallons of RV black water and/or grey water (sewage) in the bed of a pickup truck/RV tow vehicle without the use of wheels or attaching to the rear of the tow vehicle. Innovation is accomplished through the design of the tank which incorporates a main body with a bottom mounted inlet/outlet port, and uniquely designed drain hose management structure comprising a friction grip trough and locking hose rest, which facilitate the use of a standard 2′ RV Compartment hose to fill or drain the tank. Further innovation is achieved by the system of keeping the tank stationary in the vehicle thus eliminating the lifting and pulling of a filled tank.
