Macerators

[msksann]

I was interested in being able to empty my holding tanks during stays
at friend's homes, but couldn't see an easy way to alter my system to
use the RV Sani-con 5800 series. When I saw a new RV Sani-Con System
Tank Buddy Model 8102 for sale on eBay, I decided to try that one. It
comes built into a portable plastic tool box, primarily for use on 5th
wheels, and trailers, and has worked great! Seller included 2- 25 foot
1" diameter hoses. Anywhere I can find a sewer trap; I can cleanly
empty my tanks.
I liked the system so much, that when I found a 5800 for sale at a
great price, I bought that one as a possible future project. If you
decide to go that route, I'd be interested in how you decide to mount it.
