Wow, really don't know what the draw to a macerator type system is unless you always camp at a site that requires you to pump your waste up hill!!
Dirty hose and fittings, over use of fresh water, or get the 12v powered type and now have more fuss just to drain waste. The bane of this earth will be Lawyers and Salesmen!
This a very simple process, let all you tanks fill at full hook up sites, Black, Galley and Grey. Supoty you hose so it is slopped from the valve to the campground drain pipe. Then when it comes time to drain, black 1st, flush either with a bucket through the toilet, or use a built in flush device. Once the water is clear, then dump the galley tank, let it drain completely, then last the Grey (this is shower and bath sink water, clear soapy water)I take a shower every day , once done my drain hose is clean no need to even rinse it out. Then all the parts go in the 5" Vinyl fence post holder under the 5er.
