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 feel your pain. I have replaced the macerator pump twice in my 2007 RT. I checked with RT after the second pump died to see if there was a way to modify my van to a gravity feed dump system. RT said they didn't have any way to do that, but suggested I check with local RV repair folks to see if they could come up with something. So far, this 3rd pump has continued to work, but I always am waiting for another failure, each time I use the macerator. Haven't found a solution to convert to gravity yet. Barb
PS: Had autopsies on both macerators that failed-- no obvious problem was ever found.
This site shows pictures of the Roadtrek 4-way wye and a waste hose attachment system that Ron made. RT started installing the 4-way wye in 2007 I think. I bought one of these 4-way wyes and modified it so I can attach a standard RV sewer hose if I need to dump the tanks if the macerator fails. I will install it when my macerator fails.
