Why in the world would you do that? :h The FloJet Waste Macerator Pump macerates anything that goes into it with a stainless steel blade so what comes out is essentially "water". Just connect a length of 1/2" garden hose to the pump and run it out to the back of the truck where you have your portable waste container(s) already sitting in the back of the truck. Use a large container and you'd have a bear of a time when it comes to emptying it so I instead use a set of 7 gal Aquatainers labelled for grey / black water use only. For greater convenience I mounted a Bargman connector next to the trailer's waste gate for powering my FloJet and wired it through a switch located on the battery box so I can control the pump while standing at the trailer tongue where I can monitor the tanks as they fill. With a waste macerator there's no need to fool around with a stinky slinky, no need for adapters, no need for a large waste tank ... keep it simple. ;)
