I have a 78 Royale w/two tanks, and not much room to mount the mascerator.
There is a tri-angular space in the drivers side rear corner where it fits,
but the discharge points to the frame when the mascerator is connected to
the area of the drain pipe that will allow either tank to be drained
separately, and still have the 3" stinky slinky available for use. I used
a hole saw and cut a hole in the frame, and plumbed rigid pvc to a shut
off, then converted it to hose male threads with a threaded cover. When I
want to drain the tanks, I hook up a short piece of 3/4" garden hose, drop
the end down the dump station, flip the switch hidden in the generator
compartment, pull whichever tank valve needs dumped, and a couple of
minutes later, all done. No mess. I usually dump the black tank first, then
the grey, that way it flushes out the waste from the hose. The way I have
the system plumbed, no water stands in the drains, so, no winterizing is
needed.
Works on the Royale coaches very well, particularly with the wireless air
controls. One of the preset buttons lowers the back of the coach, and tilts
it, too. When finished, a single touch on the other preset button, and I am
back to ride height. I still have the 3" slinky drains available if the
mascerator fails.

Ron,
My coach is plumbed to come off the back of the macerator with 1" pvc
piping and Tee each direction with a shutoff valves and adaptor to a 3/4"
garden hose on each end. Hook a garden hose female connection coming off
the shutoff valves and loop it thru a pvc sleeve inside the rear bumper.
Depending on which side the dump station is, disconnect the opposite side
pull the garden hose thru the sleeve and open the shutoff valve on the dump
side and turn on the macerator pump.
Really works well will very little mess or cleanup.
