Simply off load grey or macerated black water into inexpensive, easy to store, easy to clean Aquatainers that are already sitting in the back of the truck - no heavy tote to deal with, no stinky slinky, no need for a sewer inlet, no need to move the coach to dump. K.I.S.S. :B
I'd hate to be tied down to only staying on sites without sewers until my tanks filled up though. A macerator doesn't help with that. I find hauling a tote to the dump station once a week much less of a PITA than breaking camp to move the entire coach there to dump.

If you remove the screw on lid on those aquatainers, and lay them on their side in the bed of the truck, they drain quite nicely and would be empty long before you ever each the dump station.
I don't know how going through the process with a macerator and jugs is easier than hooking my Barker to the ball, towing it to the dump station, connecting a hose and pulling a handle, but whatever works I guess. Most of the time I can back the truck right up to it after I fill it so I only have to lift the donut handle a foot and a half and move it a foot or two.
