unless you too have to turn around your rig multiple times to dump and then park, my comment goes not apply to your situation. But if you want to require implicit statement of “my situation” in addition to a detailed description of my situation, so be it.
That's the point - every situation is different, 'though I do wonder why you have to "turn around your rig multiple times to dump" if using a macerator ... what difference does how the trailer is oriented make? :h Not arguing, just asking what this has to do with using a macerator ... if anything, I would think it would be easier as you just run the macerator hose whichever direction you want, unlike a stinky slinky which is limited in length and can only function properly by gravity if it's sloping in the right direction.
the lean of the trailer when pulling into drive in front of house makes emptying the tanks difficult without significant lift of the opposite side of the trailer from the dump valve and raising the tongue of the trailer. Turning around to park in front of house facing other direction requires pulling up a steep 30’ high hill into a pasture, turning around and the pulling out of the pasture down in front of the house. Parking this way allows access to a small level spot for the trailer but not TV that is not accessible with the rig pointing the other direction. Then parking in the storage location requires pulling across a one lane colvert on the drive, turning around in a different pasture, pulling back up hill into the pasture above the house and backing in next to barn.
These “features” are part of the charm with our 200year old farm. It also puts limits on the size rv that can be pulled up to our house.
Things are easier with flat ground. We have a lift pump between our septic tank and leach field which is 30’-40’ higher than our septic tank.
