DIY RV Macerator Pump

Going to make a Macerator pump this weekend from a garbage disposal, I have seen plans on the internet and feel this will be better than the weak 12 volt one I got at Camping World for $240.00 that only after 6 months of use it has stopped working, would take it back but cant find receipt for warranty plus I have already dissembled it to see why it stopped working, the motor has gone out, its to weak as far as I concerned, so a 110 volt should work better.

And yes I do use a 3/4 hose but my distance is about 45 foot so I think the 12 volt just wont perform long term..

Any ideas on what works best would be great to hear before I head off to Lowes ...

JMO but your "best idea" would be to simply invest in another FloJet Waste Macerator, presumably the same model you previously purchased at Camping World - a waste pump designed specifically for the purpose. Tens if not hundreds of thousands have been sold over the years with few complaints from owners and I can only add my own anecdotal "proof of performance" by saying I've had mine for 9 years now, use it dozens and dozens of times each season, output through a 50' 3/4" hose when servicing the tanks at home or a 25' 1/2" hose when camping, and haven't had any pump failure at all. If there was any "failure" it was on your part, not keeping the receipt so you could have returned it for a replacement ... difficult to blame FloJet for this. :R
