I thought the macerator was a great idea when I bought my Roadtrek. I've changed my mind. The impeller blades in the pump are made out of some sort of rubber that doesn't last all that long. Mine stopped working and of course I had a full tank I wanted to dump. Fixing it required removing the pump and rebuilding the impeller. Not a big cost if you do the work yourself, but not all that easy given the tight clearances. Not a big fan of having a full tank of waste overhead that's within a foot of my face as I'm removing some of the plumbing on the outlet side. LOL
Anyway, my next RV will not have a macerator on the dump. I'll use plain old gravity. I'm also tired of the misreadings on the gauges so I'll be looking for external sensors and a black tank flush feature.
I used my portable for years, and never had an impeller problem.
