Any new guys out there looking for improvements to the GMC coach, listen up; The best improvement you can make to the coach is to install a macerator. I put one on about 20 years ago, and have never used the 3" hose again, while camping. We can go two days before dumping, when not trying to conserve water. (We both shower everyday.) Then I pull the 3/4" hose out, and turn on the switch. The best way to handle the 3/4" hose is to put a 1" pvc pipe under the coach, and just stuff the connected 3/4" hose down it after capping it. I never unhook it. I used a 25' 3/4" hose, cut it in half, and keep the cut off end in the storage compartment for when I need more than the 12' length. I don't mess with either of the slide valves while traveling, just cap off the 3/4" hose when in storage.

No dirty/unsanitary hands, no big messy hose to deal with, and very simple operation. No leaks, spills, or drips ever! I still carry the 3" hose for an emergency, but have never had to pull it out on the road, only back at home when flushing things after a long trip or when we lived in this thing while building our new house.

Best improvement EVER for a GMC coach, bar none!

JMHO
