You can purchase large containers specially built so you can dump your waste
into them. They have small wheels at one end and can be hooked up to your
hitch. You can then pull this container to the dump station. However,
because the wheels are generally not the greatest, the manufacturer
cautions you to drive no more than 5 mph while pulling the container. The
come in various sizes. You can see pictures of them in the Camping World
catalogue on page 128. They show sizes ranging from 5 gal. to 30 gal. The
5 gal one does not have wheels.
