dennisvr Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Anytime the sewer is less then 100' away. Lets say you are visiting someone and parked in there driveway (moochcamping) you can use it and put the hose in one of the clean outs for the sewer.

ms60ocb Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 I brought one after watching another fellow who used one but frequently stayed longer in one spot longer than I. Since that time I now stay shorter times unless we have full hook-ups. Never used the pump but keeping it as there is a sewer clean out I can excess if I ever come home and need to dump.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 We use a Sewer Solution exclusively. The #1 thing I like about it is that the lawn care guys can't damage the hose with the weed wackers. Jim's Adventures Old Spacecraft....

Ronbo Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 We use ours at our kids house. About 75 ft to the septic tank. I let the gray run all the time and pump the black when called for.

sandsys Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 My conversion van had a macerator pump inside the gray water tank. That water had to be pumped up over an axel to get to the dump outlet. So connect the dump hose, pull the handle for black, when finished close the black valve, push the button for gray. I sure wish each just had a button.

DKRITTER Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 We're like Rondo; We normally use a regular sewer hose but; We have the FloJet pump that we use several times a year. We also stay at our sons business when we go "home" and it only has electricity for us. We have over 100 feet of the blue Camco water hoses which we use once a weekish to fill the fresh water tank. The FloJet is hooked up to a couple of dedicated 3/4" hoses to a sewer clean out about 75' away. We also are able to park our trailer at home so we do the same thing there as needed. It's great for flushing, sanitizing or whatever is needed. A good investment. 2013 Newmar Dutchstar 4318 2019 F150 KR 4X4 BlueOx 10K Tow Bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance A Lott Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 My Avion is very low and I have had real trouble two times where the dirt around the dump station had washed away and the curb was higher than the outlet of the tank,so I now have a pump.

jerryneal Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Same as other comments plus those occasions when I had a sewer dump in a rest stop that was up a slight incline.

Thanks Jim I made mine with an old garbage disposal. I also use for boondocking. I can leave my tote in the back of my truck, open gray water valve it flows into top of garbage disposal and pumps to the tote with a garden hose. I love it.
