Another question for macerator users:

I have a twist on macerator, but have never used it. So I have absolutely no experience with a macerator.

The macerator needs to be turned on and off manually. That seems rather inconvenient while taking a long shower(unless you have a switch within reach of the shower). So that would be a mark against using one? Where the gravity 3" hose never needs to be turned on and off while camping.

The only real positive I can think of on the macerator is that it will pump uphill, and long runs. But at normal campgrounds pumping uphill is hardly ever a issue.

Anything I'm missing? How/why is the twist on macerator better/easier than the 3" gravity hose in a normal campsite? You still need to twist on and off both styles.

I would like to use my twist on macerator, but just haven't seen it as a advantage. Opinions?

Thanks, scott
