The sink is supposed to drain directly out below the sink.
Most people put a short piece of water hose on it and dump into used 3
gallon water containers or just into a nice big plastic dishpan.
I have never in ten years found a standard plastic container that could be
installed permanently.
Some of the Pop_Up trailer campers might have something that could be used.
Also check out SCAMP and Casita trailers for a possible source.
