That macerator pump might be exactly what I should get, thanks.
I dont completely see how it works and why I'd need an additional hose though.
And yea, I'm planning to put my external holding tank in the back of my truck.
And I could dig out an area for my tank but it's not ideal cause to get my camper back out I don't want to get it stuck in the hole.
And to Heymon, that's a good idea but it just isn't ideal.
The large-hole end of the macerator directly attaches to the sewer hose port of the trailer. The macerator is a pump and a grinder. It will grind up solid waste so it can flow through a small-diameter hose. The garden hose attaches to the port on the side of the unit back at the motor. The angled port at the top is a flushing-out port where you attach a garden hose from a faucet to wash out the dump port area on the trailer. So you need a short garden hose (large diameter as possible) to direct the output into your external tank.
