Cart a Rhino dump tank without a ball hitch?

    Greetings all!
    I have a 21-gallon Rhino dump tank and am in a park where I'll probably have to use it. The nearest dump station is out of the park. Usually it's in the park and I can just walk the tank to the dump so this is new to me.

    I have a little blue Chevy with no hitch, The tank has a metal arm that would go over a ball-hitch very well but I'm afraid I'll scratch the heck out of my car hatchback; I could just not use the arm and try to bungy the orange handle to the hitch of my car.

    Any other better ideas? It's only about a mile or 2 to the dump station.

    Do you have a receiver for a hitch ball? If so, just buy a ball hitch for when you need it and stow it away when you don’t.

    No I don't, that's the issue. I was hoping someone had a clever method for this.

    Do you have a hatchback or small sedan? Either way, I would tie a rope to the Blue Boy handle, open your hatch or trunk and insert the rope with a loop tied to it. Shut the hatch/trunk where the latching mechanism is. Make sure the rope is just long enough to keep the BB handle upright.

    Yes I thought of that but I'm just hoping I won't do damage to my car. Thanks.

    Lisa,there use to be a ball hitch that would clamp on to the bumper, if you could post a picture of your bumper

    Wow I didn't know there was such a think. Here's a pick of my bumper. As I said, I don't need the hitch for anything but to pull my portable tank. Thanks!

    Yes, I was afraid of that, thanks Andy. I think I'm going to try a combination of rope and pool noodles :grin:
