After 35 + years of RV'ing, IMHO a macerator is way more work than they are worth. One big exception might be if you have to go a long ways or uphill to the dump pipe.

And finally, I have never had to perform any maintenance on my 3 " dump hose while a macerator will eventually plug up or seize up no matter how careful you are.

3 inch stinky slinky is the way to go, but if you want a totally clean and oder free experience, I'd recommend the sewer solution. But that's slow as well and it wastes water.
