Remote control 12V switch

Effy.....Your description of where everything is located is confusing. In a typical wet bay you have the two dump valves. The macerator is usually mounted on the floor below the valves. The 3" hose runs from the combined drain to the macerator and the 1.5" hose runs out to the dump. You're losing me as to why you have to go to the other side of the coach.

I've had the SaniCon macerator on two different coaches. It comes with a built in bypass hose at the pump. It also comes with nice housing, but the housing limits the mounting options. On both coaches I tossed the housing, making the pump easier to mount. The bypass is built in and will work as long as the pump is mounted below the height of the tanks. Take a look at the SaniCon system and check out how they incorporate their bypass....it's right on the pump and works great.

I know this isn't a wireless remote, but the wiring was easy to install. Recently I mounted a second macerator switch in my half bath. Rather than doing the wiring of a two way switch, I just added a second switch, which means I have to turn either one on/off from the same location, no big deal. I then added an electric gate valve to the black tank with a second switch in my half bath. This resolved an issue with macerator toilets that use more water than standard toilets. I can now open the black tank valve and run the macerator from my half bath. If I stand near the half bath toilet I can hear the macerator running and then speed up when it's empty.

It's really nice to drain all my tanks from the inside while I'm prepping the inside for travel. I fire up, close up my slides and then just disconnect my utilities.

Lastly, Harbor Freight sells a heavy duty ON/OFF/ON remote controlled switch for a wench. I have plans to install one on my kids front electric trailer jack so that they can level from anywhere around the trailer. The remote is about $35.00.

Sorry I should have explained better. In the 29.2 the bathroom is on the passenger side. So the macerator is also on the passenger side. While it's true the wet bay is on the drivers side the valves are on the passenger side and controlled by long cables from the driver's side wet bay to the passenger side. So all the works are on the wrong side but they ran the macerator hose over to the typical location. The hose goes up over the frame rail and down the other side. The reason they put a macerator on the 29.2 really. So there is no way to gravity dump via the macerator bypass. Now I can gravity dump, but like I said it's all on the passenger side and I would have to run it over to the driver's side. Basically I have 2 wet bays. All the works on the wrong side and the macerator to get it over to the correct side. My issue is that I can't bypass it because of gravity. So was looking for an electrical solution.
