Greet all !!
As you'll expect from the title - I'm rigging up a macerator system using ideas from several posted solutions...
The SHURflo has a 1.5" inlet and a 1.0 outlet - need the eccentric reducer.
The FLOJET has a 3.0" inlet and a 1.5 outlet - no reducer needed...
Anyone been here before ?? What did you select and why ??
As always, THANK YOU all for the wealth of information and expertise.

Just a matter of opinion. I have the big inlet on ours. Whichever way you go, make sure the inlet hole to the maserator is on the
bottom. Mine is mounted upside down to the floor. So, I have to open it and get the inlet hole on bottom. That puts the outlet on
top.

Here is my macerator install on a 73, 23 ft.
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g5767-macerator-for-73-23-ft-coach.html
I used a Jabsco with 1 1/2 inch inlet and 1 inch discharge.
A 1 inch discharge hose will fit in a 1 1/2 inch conduit for storage.
No need to rotate the macerator head if you install "right side up".
If your coach is an early 73 it may not have the removable piece on the frame crossmember -- I used a rubber 3 inch sweep tee on order to squeeze it into the crossmember center hole.
Other notes on the photos.

Years ago I installed mine using an adapter for the 1" outlet to put on a 3/4" garden hose. I purchased a 50' industrial rated hose from Home Depot and cut it in half. I mounted the half with the male hose nipple and then mounted a 1-1/4" piece of conduit alone the driver's side frame so that I could just feed the hose into the conduit for storage.
I rulled up the other 25' piece and store it in the propane compartment. When I need a longer hose to reach, for example, a sewer cleanet at someone's house, I can just screw the other piece on the end. Once I had to buy a cheap plastic 5/8" 50 foot garden hose to make it even longer. I had no problem even with the 5/8" extension.
The 3/4" has worked very well over the years.

Thank you all for your replies.
Dennis - great tip on the ability to store a 1" discharge hose in a 1.5" conduit... that's very appealing.
Jim K - thanks - I'll call tomorrow. And... did Nick share that bag of chocolate chip cookies?? If not - be sure to ask him about it.
Thanks again,
Steve W
