Where to "dump" when not at campgrounds?
We'll be parking our B in a friend's driveway and staying in it for a few weeks. We'll use their water & electric, but where can we go to dump black water in a large city?

The portable Flojet Macerator comes in it's own box, with cabled alligator clips to attach to the chassis battery. It has it's own fuse wired into the on/off switch.
Using a 3/4" garden hose, it will pump 50' or more, to a sewer clean-out, depending on the upslope.
I have used mine for years pumping up about a 3' grade. Easy to keep clean by just flushing with the grey water.
I did have to add about 10 more feet onto the alligator cables.
One more thing, you need to attach a clear piece of pipe between the macerator, and the end where the slinky comes out. This is so you can shut the pump off as soon as the tank is empty. This will prevent running the pump dry, and over heating it, which I believe is the cause of a lot the macerator problems that users are having, both portable, and built in.
No one is running a hose to a toilet through my house either. :E
Here is one in use by a fellow B couple in a Pleasure-way Excel that normally is a 3" slinky gravity dump. The white hoses are water and the green hose is the dump.
