Sometimes even full-time RV travelers like to have a little break from being on the road 24\/7.<\/p>\n
Staying at an RV park is one way to stay put for a while but if you’d rather stay with family or friends there’s a simple way to dump your RV without having to move or camp right next to the sewer. It’s by using an RV macerator pump.<\/p>\n

If you’re planning on staying very long term I’d double check the regulations in the specific area you will be staying in, but in most cases, it’s perfectly fine.<\/p>\n Most homes have what’s called a sewer cleanout somewhere near the house. The cleanout is a pipe that’s connected to the main sewer line that’s used to clean the line if it ever gets clogged.<\/p>\n The pipe looks a lot like the sewer hookup in an RV park and in most cases it can be used in the same way. Many RVers just dump their campers at home directly through the cleanout using regular RV sewer hoses.<\/p>\n That works great if you can park near the sewer cleanout but they’re not always so accessible. If you’re staying somewhere long term you might not be parked so close to the house anyway.<\/p>\n An RV macerator pump is a perfect solution for this. It’s basically a sewage blender that breaks down raw sewage using blades. It then pumps the broken down black tank matter out of a garden hose sized outlet to the sewer.<\/p>\n Not all RV macerators are created equal, some are rated to pump through garden hoses that are only 50 feet long and others can go much further.<\/p>\n See Also:\u00a0How To Maintain RV Holding Tanks To Prevent Clogs & Odors<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n In this review, I’ll go over some of the best portable RV macerator pumps and the best way to use them.<\/p>\n I’ll also include some larger more heavy duty residential toilet macerator pumps if you are planning on building a more permanent setup that is further than 100 feet away from the intended sewer inlet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
