pros & cons of waste pumps with macerators
We have a Class A and my husband is thinking of purchasing a waste pump. We utilize only campgrounds and rarely need to use other dump stations. Why would we want one of these? Wheat are the pros and ...

Have a Flojet Portable macerator that is 10 yrs old.
When at a CG with FHU I prefer using the 3" sewer hose due to the 'WHOOSH' effect.
Open waste tank drain and the weight/volume in tank rapidly drains out carrying any solids along with it.
Can NOT get that effect with a macerator......slower and discharge is thru a much small hose (3/4" hose fitting on pump)
BUT it works great when you have to go any distance or uphill.
I use it at my sisters place .....75' with a 2' incline to clean out.
Takes about 25 minutes overall to dump 120 gallons of black/grey waste with a 5 minute break between tanks.
Personally I prefer WHOOSH...done
