On my popup, the sink drains to a hose connection on the outside, there is no gray water tank or anything on board. Usually I either stick a 5 gallon bucket under the connection to collect the water, or I run a garden hose to the sewer connection if the site has one. The park that I will be camping at next month does not have a sewer connection on site, and they require that the water be collected in a sealed container. Does anyone have a suggestion for what I can use?

I use 2 five gallon blue totes.  They are easy to carry and I can take one and dump it when I have time, not just when it gets full.  Some people use blue Aquitaine's from Wal-Mart and not the expensive blue totes.:)

I just use a 5 gal blue water container that you can buy cheap most anywhere.  It is dedicated for graywater.  I have another blue tote I use when I need to fetch fresh water and it is a completely different shape so there is no confusion between the two.

ffej1010... I live over here in Chesapeake, and since your local I'll offer you a deal... I've got a 15 gallon wheeled tote tank, it's the flat kind that was sold by Coleman/Fleetwood that is suppose to store underneath the trailer. I have the complete unit, including the mounting bracket, connection hoses, and hardware for mounting it. I've offered it for sale before, but the shipping to other parts of the world get costly due to size and weight (that bracket is made of steel). Since you're local, no shipping charges...you just pick it up. I'll let it go for $50....and please note you can't get one like that brand new like this one is for anything near that amount... It looks like this one but it's gray instead of blue...

I use a 10 gal blue tote tank with wheels which has a screw on hose fitting at one end. It is connected to the 1 1/2" sink drain with a piece of garden hose which is 24" long x 3/4" . I leave the large drain cap  loose so that air in the tank can escape when filling...It works really well and is easy to handle when emptying...I removed the P-trap from the sink drain which has improved the flow. Never had an odor.......
