I've had a Sewer Solution. Sold it after complaints from a campground for using too much water to dump the tanks and flush.
Then I bought a macerator. It's for sale. Not a good place to mount it permanently on our current trailer, and it is a pain hook up and take off. I also don't like having both the gray and black tanks open at the same time as required to use it properly.
Another thing with macerators is the heavy weight hanging off the end of the outlet pipe and vibration from the motor running can cause either the outlet pipe or the macerator connectors to break.
It seemed we were always needing to use the Rhino hose anyway.
The Rhino hose isn't indestructible. Getting it out of the rear bumper helps prevent damage. Also, it depends upon how long you leave it attached. Like any plastic / plastic like product - it is susceptible to UV damage. And small critters. We spend 103 days at Big Bend NP - and that did in a three year old Rhino.
For our next CH position, I'm getting some gutter material to put on top of the sewer hose to protect it.
Also - read the warnings about sewer hoses and the Grand Canyon Campground. The ravens know sewer hoses often have nice tidbits inside them to eat. And they will break into any sewer hose left out.
If a campground complains about my sewer solution using too much water my rig is mobile and there are many more campgrounds.
