After checking it out, this arrangement appears to be less complex than Roadtreks previous masceator setups and offers the advantage of a dual dumping system. Moving the black tank gate value to the side of the Zion has eliminated the long control rod for the black dump value which broke on my setup. I could find nothing about a gray tank gate value - where is it?

Could somebody explain the "back flush" concept to me? How is it better than sticking a hose down the toilet?
You can just hold up the slinky and put the water right into it to fill the tanks. The water running backwards often will get more stuff broken loose or debris dislodged if it is stuck.
Plus, no hose or buckets to drag into the van.

The dual system sounds great to me. I have the standard Roadtrek macerator and it has been fine but there is no way to back flush the black tank through the hose and I would like to have that ability. A gravity system can always have a portable macerator added.
I would like to have this new system retro-fitted to my 11C190P but it sounds like Roadtrek is not going to make that available.
I got very interested in the Zion until I learned there is no outside storage compartment - no place for a wet/muddy hose, power cord, etc. other than inside.

IMO, anyone who doesn't have a permanently-installed macerator is a dangerous masochist. It is less about convenience than about having a totally-sealed system. I agree that a gravity backup is a good thing, but I would never use it except under extreme duress.

I'm curious, where have you encountered this? After staying in more than 100 campgrounds in the US and Canada the past five years, I honestly can't recall any with dumps impossibly high for gravity systems.
