There is an outside bay to store the sewage hose on Travato.
A discharge pump is a mixed bag. I'd rather have none, but if I have to choose, I'd much prefer it on the gray water. If it fails it's nowhere near as foul a thing to deal with.
The drain on the shower pan is an odd thing. But you can either run is while you shower, or after since you're not going to accumulate alot of water in that pan. Someone pointed out the the thing to do is put a $2 strainer on that drain to keep bits out of the pump (even though it has an external filter). You don't run that pump for the bathroom or kitchen sink though, just the shower.
One big downside for the Travato is that, if you are hooked up at a campsite, you can't just leave your gray valve open. You have to fill the tank and then pump it out holding down the pump switch. As the tank is only 15 gallons, that is probably something you'd do once a day if you weren't conserving water.
Stuff to think about when looking at the different units.
