Macerator pumps--how to spot one?
I plan to start looking for a used RV sometime next year. I do not need and do not want a macerator pump. They have too many problems, pull too much power, and I have a sewer cleanout at home downhi...

If it has a macerator, it will be at the end of the dump valve and look like this: macerator.
As Trackrig mentions, they are not very common and I think most people who use them have added them after purchase. In those cases, they will most likely indicate it in the ad. If you really like the RV, I wouldn't let the macerator make it a no-go. You can easily have it removed.
I also think a lot of folks add the portable version (that's what I have), so they will likely keep it to go on their next RV.
