We have had lots of different RVs (all Class B or Class C motorhomes) over the years and on every RV we've had, we've insisted on an RV macerator pump.

Whenever I mention that we have an RV macerator pump, I get email from followers who want to know more about it and how it works, compared to the standard, big, ugly four-inch hose used in the typical gravity means of emptying the black and gray tanks – unaffectionately known by many RVers as "Stinky Slinkys."

So we put together an accompanying video to this post showing how and why to use an RV macerator pump. Watch the video and then scroll down for more info.
