hb```b``6d`e``bd@ A(G The black tank may be in a position on the other side of the coach from the toilet not allowing gravity to push the waste into the black tank. The only real purpose is to allow a remote black tank by having a macerator PUMP at the INTAKE instead of at the outlet. What real advantage is there to an electric macerator toilet, MT we'll call them, except perhaps location the toilet? After sitting for a month in storage it decided it wouldn't flush. The noise, water and power usage are inconsequential to me. In my opinion, the big advantage of using a macerator toilet is that you can use normal toilet paper without risk of plugging up the BW tank. I have a macerator toilet. Not only do I need to get refilled, I also need to dump the black tank. We have had the same problem with our Unity TB. Had to push it with a strategically bent coat hanger. In my Jayco trailer we had 30 gallons black (regular toilet right above black tank) and the RS36 has 40 gallons. %PDF-1.5

A post or two down from the one you quote me on describes that the newer units with a macerating toilet have a Dometic model instead of the Thetford in my 2014. It shreds everything, and a fine slurry is what goes into the black water tank. When we do, we engage the macerator toilet, just to try to keep it functioning, since we have had this happen on several occasions when we have gone for awhile without taking it out. I dont use it to dump at FHU sites because it takes 3 times as long to dump because of the smaller hose. Other than the reasons mentioned it is just a useless item taking up valuable space in the wet bay. On my other coach, I had a macerator pump on my black tank and it made dumping the waste from the black tank easy and quick plus it was a much smaller diameter waste hose.

My macerator toilet is in the master bath and dumps into the grey/black water tank which has a 1.5 inch drain outlet. Take a toilet brush and clean around the opening while flushing. I have a macerating toilet (at the toilet, not at the pump) and mostly I would like to replace it with a manual toilet. We did the shake it up test with Charmin and 3 other brands. 0

What Does An RV Propane Gas Leak Smell Like? That in itself is a major issue. After I got it cleared I did some investigation and found the bath sink, which also go to black tank, it drains upstream of the toilet drain. The only advantage I can think of is mechanically reducing the size of toilet paper before it goes in the tank and thereby not having to rely on paper dissolving over time. I tend to agree and I think we are talking also about 2 different things. Macerator toilet, and macerator dump pump. But we still try to visit it in storage once a month or less.

I don't have and don't want a macerator toilet for the reasons stated above by some. Add up the differential cost of motorhome TP vs standard TP and it represents a tidy sum.

I also cannot say no to friends that are staying in more rustic accommodations if they want to use my toilet versus the port a potties. hN9tf+UH! At home I have an RV barn with dedicated septic tank so I'm not worried about pumping the poop uphill anywhere. Just picked up our 17 TB and it has the Dometic Toliet.

I sure will be glad when our Unity is finally delivered so I can answer some of my own questions! Since the macerator is electric and electric things break I guess that a failed toilet results in not using it. I do a ton of dry camping at music festivals and the amount of water it uses creates a logistical problem. http://www.thetford.com/product/tecma-silence-plus-rv/. I had this happen about 6 months ago and, of course, it worked perfectly when I took it to the dealer.

We have a family of 6 and could last 4 days dry camping in the trailer and filled the Thor in 2.5 days while traveling across the country. When Im at a place with FHU its almost like being at home with a full size porcelain bowl. I had some visitors over use the paper and developed a wad that sort got stuck.

In the Omni XG32 the gravity toilet is on the right side and of course the drain is the left. Beyond that it doesnt benefit me at all. I wish I had a half bath with a gravity drain which would help. We end up using the mantra if its yellow, let it mellow but you do have to watch how much toilet paper accumulates or you can overwhelm the macerator.

Here's some documentation for the SeaLand (by Dometic) macerator toilet installed in my TB. The laws of nature need not be considered, gravity. My guess would be the valve has stuff on it not allowing the solenoid to pull it open. This is what I've seen used, or one that's actually built-in at the outlet & hidden inside the sewer compartment. I have a SaniCon macerator on the current rig.
