fails the most important task of a dump cart - TRUST
first one came with a visibly cracked handle. second one had hairline cracks. note the picture of the product’s branded packaging - handle unprotected.
within three uses the flex hose leaked - see video - leaks where flex hose comes into swivel end fitting. note this video is right after a dump, the leak is much faster while waste is flowing & continues to leak after RV dump valve is closed.
then after about 6 weeks of use the intake cap leaked. that i noticed after i had hooked it onto the truck. i had a drip all the way back to my RV’s dump valve.
between pulling with the orange handle vs. the tow hook. the tow hook is the FAR superior method.
no fill gage is awkward. i use a chopstick with a line on it. but since seeing the waste rise out of the “tiny” 3/4” hose thread hole can be difficult in some kinds of light, i’ve overfilled it. nothing overflowed because of the laws of dump gravity and i easily removed the excess from the line into a bucket. FYI barker sells one that will fit that hole https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007KQY3K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hs7UCbZRMYZ5Z.
the wheels are soft to touch in the arizona heat. upon closer inspection i feel they will be durable, they are a rubberized plastic & that’s the way they look & feel. they roll easily over speed bumps & rough terrain. and you don’t have to fill them with air.
the cart is 12-1/4” high (to top of intake hole) but my RV is high enough. i use a 11” high bucket to support the hose plus one or two 2x10s depending on the terrain i’m parked on. WARNING - the flex hose can slinky. it did once and there were no leaks or falling off but after that i’ve always supported it and no more slinky.
i’ve ordered the barker to compare. a dump cart should be effortless in that there should be no doubts about its durability & RELIABILITY.
