macerator pumps

not sure what forum to post this in--- does anyone recommend a macerator pump? How far can you pump the waste? what is minimum size discharge hose can you use? I need to get waste about 125 feet to dump area.
Thanks in advance, please help.

    Ditto the above, and one caveat. They use a LOT of 12v power, so be sure to keep your wires real short, have a good charged battery and watch for heat.

    I have one that I use with a 3/4" Garden hose. The hose is 100'. Relatively flat grade. Works fine for me. Use it just when I return home and haven't pumped out when traveling.
