2010 Roadtrek Mercerator / Pump
The gray and black tanks are full. We can hear the pump, but it is not pumping anything out. We are traveling from Marietta Ohio I-77 to Statesville NC. and then on to Augusta GA. Any suggestions ...

There is a handle to turn by hand that will turn the impeller inside the Roadtrek macerator. (This replaced needing a screw driver on newer RTs.) Its location depends on model in a 2010. If you have a Chevy RT then it should be under the van near the macerator. I believe the process is push in to engage and can turn in both directions. In a Sprinter it may be inside. Check your RT manual for location. Do this without pushing the macerator button and see what happens - then push the button to try to dump. If this does not work then the impeller inside the macerator may be broken - which is not uncommon if something got stuck in there. Replacement can be done on your own if you are handy, can get the part, and can get to the macerator to open it. Otherwise take it to an RT or RV service center for replacement. Since you hear the motor turning, the motor has not burned out and there is power and the switch works, if the dump gate is open, the only thing left is a bad impeller (grinder and what makes the water flow).
