Holiday Rambler sani con question?

My brother in law just purchased a 2012 Holiday Rambler Ambassador. It has a sani con system that apparently came from the factory. There is a built in switch labeled for it and it is covered in the owner's manual.

We cannot figure out how to connect it. The discharge pipe from the black tank is pointing straight down and is about 3 inches from the bottom of the bay and opening in the floor. There is no way to hook up the sani con hose to it without taking it out the door of the bay, running it under the bay and putting it up through the hole in the bay floor to hook it to the discharge tube. The sani con pump is mounted to the floor of the bay. There is not room to put an elbow on the discharge.

This would make the sani con pump higher than the hose feeding into it. For it to work properly it needs to be gravity feed.

Does anyone have a mh set up like this and found a way to use it?

  • Just twist the 3" discharge toward the SaniCon unit and connect. The discharge tube rotates, usually with just hand pressure.
  • Sounds like the previous owner disconnected the macerator and used the stinky slinky.

    You'll probably have to loosen the 3" pipe and rotate it upward. There is a 3" flex line that runs from the sewer opening to the macerator pump. From there a 1" hose comes off the pump to discharge the waste into the sewer system. It does NOT rely on gravity.

    If you need a picture let me know and I'll take one tomorrow and post it for you...Dennis

    On edit: Here's a video that might answer your question. Let me know if you need the picture after viewing the video....D
