My new to me coach has multiple issues, so I will post one at a time and ask for opinions on how to remedy.


My sewer connection is extremely low and towards the back. I don't know if this is an original black tank or a replacement. One of the PO's put this cobbled up skid bar on it to protect it, but I'm dragging everywhere I go. The picture below shows some space forward where I may be able to straighten out the 3" some and get the assembly farther away from the bumper.

Check out the seat belt mounting straps. They seem to work...

I have seen pictures on the photo site where some folks have a macerator that appears to be mounted above the plane of the sewer outlet pipe. Did I see that right? The macerator will suck upwards enough to evacuate the tank like that? If so, that may be an option for me.

I would even come out the back if that would work better in this case. But I have to do something as there are a lot of campsites I can't back into with this skid bar situation. Worst case, I can weld up some rollers and mount them.

What would you do?

Thanks in advance!
