HI Mike;
I recently installed the macerator kit from Jim K in our 77 Kingsley. Then
took the coach down to Disneyland
with my wife, youngest daughter and her 4 teenagers (our grandchildren)
along for the ride. Needless to say
that the bathroom got full treatment. The Macerator worked like a dream.
I use the hose Jim supplies.
It's a tough reinforced green tinted/clear plastic. And it does come out
in a nice brown liquid - need I say more!
We have a 77 Eleganza that Denny Allen had installed his version of the
Macerator on. What I liked about how he did the
stand-by dump system (just in case the Macerator fails (and it did once due
to the ground wire coming loose) was he had a swivel joint that allowed the
PVC pipe to ride high and when needed you would reach under and remove the
rubber strap and it would swing down. So when I hooked up the one in the
Kingsley I tried several RV dealers and Home Depot plus a major plumbing
supplier for this 3" PVC swivel joint - no one ever heard of it. So I
installed the 3" straight back - just shy of the framing for the tow
framing. I didn't have to use it and hope not too. I also went over some
irregular pavement sections where the rear end dragged but not enough to
challenge the drain. (when we picked up this coach in Chicago last June
the PO had taken the Macerator off and had the 3" angled and attached to
the underside of the frame at a location just under the generator. It was
too low in many cases and lost 3 caps in the trip plus scrapped the bottom
of the end so badly it opened up a hole that let the brown stuff leak onto
the ground.
Mike
we are planning the across Canada trip this August/September. Have DJ
Eberhard and Jim Hupy planning on being along. for more info you can email
me at dwayne.jacobson@gmail.com

I seemed to have the same problem. Could not find a hose locally that I cared for. unless i wanted 75 or 100 feet of it.
Jim K hooked me up with the correct hose.

Dan,
Yes, I just realized I had accidently checked Rob as "ignore this user" -- so I missed his instigation...

Ask Terry Skinner about the great mascerator distance porta pottie painting
competition. I understand that a mascerator pump with a garden hose
attatched, fitted on the end with a nozzle can spray "stuff" a considerable
distance. I was not there, but have heard the story.
