Ok,
It's been a year using my twist on macerator. I like it a lot, especially on single night stays.
QUESTION.... if camping at the same site for a week or two, why would anyone use the macerator vs the gravity fed 3 inch hose? With the macerator I'm constantly turning on the pump after each shower. PITA....... with the 3 inch line I'm NOT constantly turning on a pump....... and whenever I get back from a trip I always clean out my black water tank. I don't see the logic... what am I missing?
(((((BTW,,,,our poops are perfectly spherical in mass, shape and volume (German engineered), in fact they are so perfect we measure them metrically, and they always roll to the nearest exit. I just wanted to get that out there because I knew someone would ask.))))))
Thanks, Scott.

my PO installed the macerator onto the end cap of the dump pipe it is mounted permanently behind the rear bumper. he also installed a separate switch in the bathroom as well as one next to the pump under the bumper so i can turn on the macerator when in the bathroom or outside

You must have 2 tanks??
Normal dumping at a full hook up site should be keeping the valve closed until tank is filled up, then pull the handle. I do not see that much different then me going out and hitting the switch. But if i had to mount a portable macerator as opposed to my permanantly mounted one, i would hook up a slinky.
Leaving valve open and letting things drain can cAuse issues. The water mass gets those german engineered poops to flush away.

I hook the hose when I'm staying more than two days. Then when I get ready to pack up, I run water through all the faucets till the tank is nearly empty so the hose isn't as awful as it might be. I'll point out, most of us Americans produce turds with tapered ends so the hole doesn't slam shut.

The hose seems to make more sense if you are required to hook up the macerator everyday. The best advice I can offer is to not chew excessively. This leaves a nice textured surface, especially with things like corn, to keep that old Slinky very clean.

Keeps the hole from self-induced injury, right?

Somebody should syndicate these conversations. Some of our best laughs
come from our GMC friends.
Keep 'em comin'.
I like our macerator because it's fun to listen to the noise it makes while
grinding/draining...

I love to use the macerator as it is so easy to use and I'm gone while the
SOBs are still at it struggling with their large hoses.

We take navy showers and can almost make a week before flipping that
switch. We do not carry a stinky slinky......can be easily purchased in an
emergency. 11 years and counting....

When you plumb for the macerator, convert to modern slinky hookup
