Before the depression, I did a lot of boat work. I got to hate macerators (except for the money they got me).
If you do install one. Make certain that the installation has two features:
First, you can still gravity dump at least the black tank. Both would be better, but cannot always happen.
Second, the system should be able to isolate the macerator so it can be removed for repair without a huge spill.
I have known some in our RV group that have had the same pump installed for years and had no trouble at all. My home dump is next to my driveway, so I don't need one.
