My Macerator will not connect directly to the RV. I need a 5" extension to get below the bay then the macerator connects.
I use a clear plastic connection so I can see when the tank is empty on the rare occasion I use my portable Macerator.
ONE WORD OF CAUTION
The pump sufferes from "Sticksion" that is once it has been used if it sits for any period of time the impellers stick and the thing wont' run (Will pop the fuse in the handle) the solution is to look at the non-pump end of the motor. shaft has a slot in it take a flat tool (quarter works, or key, screwdriver or a flat metal bar) and give it a twist to break it free. then hook up and "go".
