I'm still new to all this, but the PO installed a macerator and I like it. Just like several have said, 2 or 3 minutes and you're done.

I have used other motorhomes with the traditional gray and black tanks before and I was concerned that the combined tank on the GMC was not going to be as good. First time I emptied, I realized a few gallons on black water mixed in with 30+ gallons of gray water might be better than dealing with separate tanks. As mentioned above, the dreaded shower drain back up is always a bit of a concern.

For those with macerators, do you pump until the pump starts sounding a little different, and the flow slows? If you keep it running, it will continue to dump, but my thought is the pump inlet is not full and this is probably not good for the pump.
