Im wondering if anyone who has the Sonic lite 150vrb has a wastewater storage tote ?
I am contemplating installing a shelf underneath trailer forward of the Fresh water tank to store an " empty " Camco 36 gal tote. I am wondering if there is enough ground clearance for the 15 " high Tote and also space underneath for the 25" x 46 " width and Length

Willboy, I'd be careful about adding a wastewater storage tote, as you are thinking of using a 36 gal capacity tote, especially if your existing tank is in the forward of the axle. Water weights 8.35 lbs per gallon and with a 36 gal tote plus whatever waste you put in there, your adding 300.6 plus tank full. Not sure you can add 15" without cutting open the floor and raising it so as to keep ground clearance.

So the "empty" tote weighs about 42 pounds. With strapping, or whatever the support is, minimum extra tongue weight is probably 45 pounds. Not an insignificant weight to not consider. Most hitches are set at about 17" to tow level. Unless you tow with the camper really nose high, the first speed bump would wipe the tote off under the tongue.

Ya I took some more measurements and I will be carrying off the back bumper with a bracket and a cover to appease my wife. She hates seeing those things hanging off the back. Oh and of course it will be empty regardless of where I carry it!
