I'm looking to buy a portable Waste Tank and don't have a clue. I would really like to hear what brand and size you have. I am looking at the Thetford Smarttote. Anyone have one? How well do you like it? Would appreciate any information.

So short of divorce...I gue...

Even though it will be 5 yrs before I retire and FT, just wanted to hear from FTers that have dogs. I dont even know if our dogs will be around in 5 yrs. But if I decide to get another dog I wanted to see if it's a lot of trouble, if parks have restrictions on size(I like bigger breeds best).
