Actually my RV came with a built in macerator. I have just been bypassing it and using the gravity fed dump. How can this help me at home and how can it help me avoid the lines at dump sites?
Forget the lines at the dump station entirely and just head for home. Driving will help break down the solids and put less stress on the macerator if needed at home. Depending what you have at home will determine if you bypass the macerator or no. If your clean out is outside your home great.
If not, do you have a clean out as pictured above in the basement of your home, is there a window you can open near by? If so, two fittings (maybe three?) and a cap will convert it for a garden hose connection... or you got several different options depending on it's placement or your desires.
No way I am going to wait if I am headed home where I can do it at my leisure. It may take me a total of 30 minutes to stretch the garden hose, drain the black and two grey tanks and put it all away when done.
If headed to another campground I may or may not.. will I have full hookups? Will I arrive at a time that most likely will not have a waiting line etc? The added weight of full tanks takes no more power then adding a couple mph to the tow speed due to aerodynamics. I see a bigger drop in gas mileage going from 62 mph to 67mph then water in tanks or no so I always leave home with a full fresh water tank which during use gets transferred to black and grey tanks.
