MACERATOR PUMP NOT WORKING ... AGAIN!!!!
VEHICLE: 2012 Winnebago ERA with a macerator pump to drain the waste water tanks. I had a problem a year or so ago where the pump was apparently blocked with waste material and keep blowing a fuse ...

Karsty - I'm anxious to hear what your solution was. We have a 2010 ERA and the macerator stopped working when we were on a 3 week vacation. My husband couldn't fit under ours either. I took it to an RV shop and they didn't have a pit or lift (I should have asked first), and they used 4 stacked 2X10s of graduating lengths and beveled edges to help smooth drive on.
Our pump was actually making pump noises and was not blocked on the inlet side. We also use the correct paper and no flushing anything other than that.
Once replaced the pitch and sound was totally different than it had been and all is working now. Unfortunately I didn't ask for the old one so I can't tell if it was hair inside the macerator or a power issue. Not happy to know that this may be a never ending issue.
