Sewer solution - worth it?
How many out there own and use a Sewer Solution. It's an interesting concept, but I'm not convinced it's worth the investment. What have been your experiences? Why do you like it? Why not?

I've looked at, thought about the Sewer Solution a few times. Personally, I think this product is another example of, like the previous poster said, over-complicating a very simple task.
Whether you spend the $$ for a sewer solution or not, you really still have to keep a conventional sewer hose and fittings, for the times you don't have full hookups and have to use a dump station. And, if you get a good hose and take care of it, you will NOT be replacing it every year as previously suggested. We've been using same one for as long as I can remember. Soooo, the argument about $$ saving from not having to buy a conventional hose and fittings really does not 'hold water', haha. :)
Basically, I think it boils down to this:
Pros:
1. Allows you to avoid using a sewer hose, so you don't have to put away a hose that is prone to hold a little water inside.
2. Allows you to push waste water uphill if you need to.
Cons:
1. The process take a good bit longer (making it unrealistic to use at dump stations)
2. Uses up a bunch more water.
3. More potential to get clogged up.
4. Costs more $$, since you have to have a regular hose, either way
Anyway, since we camp frequently at places that don't have full hookups, and never have the need to push waste water uphill...the cons out-weigh the pros significantly for us, so we use a conventional setup.
