Macerator system
With myself being new to rv`ing, I am complying a list of what we want on our coach. Does a macerator system a must or not. Any pro or cons comments are appreciated.

PROS: Easy to dump. No mess, You can eat a sandwich while dumping..:W...easy to store. It's a MUST for any coach we buy. I've had two.
CONS: Takes longer to dump. Annual maintenance, for me anyway, is to disassemble the pump and clean out any hair or debris left on the blades. Impeller needs to be replaced about every five years. $60 item, 15 mins work.
I have a question on the built-in. Is there also a regular 3" conventional outlet on your rig for a stinky slinky?
I would not want to HAVE to use the macerator every time because of the time and also the "whoosh" evacuation action that a suitably standard sewer hose affords. That is one of the reasons I would not want a pump-only solution and why I like my portableet Flojet.
Another pro - you can use this when the sewer inlet in the ground is higher than the outlet on the RV - no "walking" the stinky slinky.
