Having read all the comments about macerators (and watched the movie RV) I didn't think I wanted to begin my GMC experience without one --- so here is my effort.

Special recognition to Duane Simmons for his GMC West technical article on all the things a GMC owner should know which included a diagram and parts list for a macerator installation. I borrowed heavily from his plan.

The fixed discharge hose ends 9 feet from the side of the coach -- but with a thread to garden hose adapter I can add a lenght of garden hose if required.

Nice clean setup Dennis. Looks almost identical to mine. I like stuff up and out of the way. This makes an unpleasant chore no longer unpleasant or a chore. While here in Monroe, I pump into a 6 gallon gas jug and dump in my brother's cleanout. Easy and fast to move the sewage 200 feet.

Dan,
Thanks -- and thank you for the feedback on the hose size.
Do you rinse out the black tank each time you dump?

No Dennis because we use our coach so much. Now, when we get home I will use my cleanout rinser. Then, I will pull the back 3 in. cap, like your's, and use a hose to clean it good.
