Where to store large grey water tote?

We just found a great deal on Craigslist for a grey water tote. 32 gallons, brand new, never used for $75. Now we need to figure out where the best place is to store it while traveling. It would be great if there was somewhere on the outside of the camper to attach it to. Any ideas?

I have an under frame tire carrier. I'm able to put mine in the carrier. It's only an 18 gallon though.

Where did you get this? I like this so much more than on the ladder....looks much cleaner.

Same here on the BAL Hide A Spare. We only ever put grey water in so I leave the cap off to make sure I have it next time I need it. Mounted out of the way and we always have it if we need it.

We have a bike receiver that the previous owner put on the bumper so this might work. Did you just tie it down with a bungee cord?

Two cords do it for my set-up.

Another BAL Hide-a-Spare user. By far the easiest system I've found. Always there when I need it and I never have to load/unload it when going camping.

To those who are using the Hide-A-Spare: Is this mounted in front of the axles? I'm asking because that's where I mounted a sewer hose carrier on my Rockwood and it was damaged, I think due to a speed bump in a parking lot. Looking at the pictures it seems like there isn't much clearance to the ground.

My Hide-A-Spare is mounted about midway from axles and front. I have a 5er that sits fairly high as well as a tall truck so I haven't had any clearance issues

I have my spare mounted on one just in front of the axles and my tank just in front of it. It sits significantly higher than the hitch, and about the same height as my step box. WAY more clearance than most vehicles have- so I'm not worried about it.
