I live 1 mile from a State Park and for years I had the luxury of simply pulling into the park and dumping my gray/black tanks as needed. When I drove a Motorhome this was awesome because we could us...

So in other words your earlier comment applies only to your particular situation ...
"Macerator set-up is too complicated at home to be worth the effort; parking location closest to clean out requires turning rig around for dump followed by turning around again to get to storage location plus needing to pump 75’-100’ uphill to clean out."
... and therefore isn't relevant to the OP nor to anyone else who may be interested in using a macerator for servicing their rig's waste tanks. In fact, your situation has nothing to do with whether you use a macerator or not but rather the fact that the lean of your rig doesn't allow proper gravity draining of the tanks. As one who has been using a waste macerator for more than a dozen years now I can absolutely say it can be an excellent method of servicing one's waste tanks, specific situations such as yours notwithstanding. :)
