Portable dumper transport options?

I have a 30ft Cruiser and want to know if anyone has made accommodations to haul their portable dumper on or under the trailer. So far placing it in the bed of the truck is my only option. I'm exploring the idea of a bracketing on the trailer for transport. Any ideas? Thanks.

Are you planning to do a lot of boondocking that you need to carry it? We can go a full week without dumping when we are at a music festival. We also have one of those portable dumpers which we have had for years. We still bring it to festivals but use it to dump out other people's units. We carry it in the back of the truck. Most Crossroads products have large holding tanks, larger than other trailers.

On fifth wheels, there is plenty of un-used space inside the front storage compartment above and behind the landing gear. I use bungee cords to keep the tote tank strapped up against the bedroom floor. I put hooks into the steel frame (just make sure not to go thru the floor). While this is not the easiest place to access for storing or removing the tank, it is space that is otherwise wasted. I use hooks to hang the satellite dish next to the tank as well. If your tank is too big, this may not work.

Like a lot of campers I figured I had to have one, now I have 2. One was bought used, but never by me. The other is new. Then I figured out the black tank would go a week with normal use, so a weekend was no problem. I've hauled it around a lot and finally just decided to leave it home. Maybe if I was lost I might need it. Boondocking is when I only have water and electric....

You have to realize there is only 2 of us, kids are a different problem.
