Results for "macerator"

Apparently I'm getting charged premium prices for special RV toilet paper for my 2025 Entegra Anthem and wondering if it's actually necessary with a macerator pump system. The RV has both macerator dump pump and macerator toilet components. I typically dump every 2-3 days at RV parks, with occasional dry camping extending to 5-day intervals before dumping.

Given the mechanical grinding action of the macerator system, I'm questioning whether RV-specific toilet paper is actually necessary. Regular household toilet paper costs significantly less than RV-branded products. My concern is potential damage to the macerator mechanism or holding tank complications.

I also want to understand if using a black tank treatment packet every few days is beneficial, and whether four toilet flushes with water is sufficient for tank maintenance. What are the technical requirements for toilet paper compatibility with macerator pump systems? Are there specific regular toilet paper brands that perform adequately, or should I continue purchasing RV-specific products for system reliability? …more

Woke up to my neighbor insisting I ditch the macerator on my 2013 Thor Ace 29.2, my dealer pushing me to keep it, and YouTube saying something completely different. How exactly does this work? Like, do I need to do something to switch between them on the passenger and driver sides, or can I just use whichever one I want whenever?

I'm assuming there's gotta be some kind of valve system to control which outlet gets the flow? Just want to make sure I don't mess something up by having both open at the same time or whatever. …more

Turned on my RV this morning to discover my macerator toilet is leaking water from bowl to floor — can't afford a $200+ service call, any DIY fixes under $50? We have a 2016 DS 3736 with a macerator toilet that just started leaking water from the bowl onto the bathroom floor. The RV has been sitting unused for about two months, and this is the first time we've had it out since then - not sure if that's related but thought I should mention it.

The leak started two days ago and water is coming out pretty quickly now. I'm wondering if sitting idle could have caused something to dry out or if there might be debris blocking something? I'd love to know how to figure out exactly where it's leaking from and what the most common fixes are for this type of issue. Any advice on troubleshooting steps would be really appreciated! …more
