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...

We have a Phoenix Cruiser 2100 which is a small Class C motor home. All their models have the Sani Con macerator system as standard equipment as well as the gravity system should you choose to use that method.
You do not have to connect the macerator hose as it is built into the system, very sanitary. I cannot speak for the portable macerators.
On our PC you do not see the macerator from the outside as it is enclosed in an outside compartment. You do see the tube where you would connect the gravity hose if you choose that mode for dumping.
We do not have a separate button on the dash like was mentioned. All our controls are in the outside compartment.
If our Sani Con system ever fails we would definitely have it repaired. One of the many benefits is being able to flush out both the grey and black tanks using the Sani Con and no messy large sewer hose to clean after every dump. We had a Class B for 10 years and just had the gravity.
