MoHo Macerater Pump Installation

Macerator Pump


I've completed the macerator pump installation. Now, when having to suffer through the most undesirable aspect of Airstreaming, I don't even have to get my hands wet, much less chance the "slinky" slipping off at the most inopportune moment and getting any brown on my white shoes.

I don't know about other Airstream designs, but the '87 345 has only enough room for about 6' of 3" "slinky" sewerage pipe in the “wet” storage area.....only enough to make you want to try to stretch it out and dump the black tank.

I haven't had the “slinky” slip off of the connection when opening the Thetford valves (yet), but I've had to hold it on once too often.

With this setup I have 15 feet of 1” discharge hose with union connections, quick coupling wash hose with isolation valves, and a 10 gallon per minute Jabsco macerator pump to handle pumping from the black and gray tanks to the sewerage receiving head.

Quick connect water hookups make the cleanout and cleanup procedure a "dry" undertaking.

The only projection below axel height is the rubber "T" at the bottom of the pump. This is a "weak link", designed to be expendable in the face of road alligators.
