Wolf's Roadtrek Motorhome Modifications ... and Other Stuff
An auxiliary grinder (Macerator) switchI am not a fan of a macerator ... a grinder
But, I have a Macerator. My motorhome doesn’t stink from the holding tanks. I believe the reason is my fastidious flushing of both holding tanks. I rarely have to carry black water for weeks at a time. After each trip I fill both tanks, flush, fill both tanks, flush and then do it again. I always travel with the bath vent open. I keep all traps filled with water. My RV doesn’t stink. After a trip holding the dopey grinder button for the three forevers that are required to exhaust both tanks is unacceptable. I bought a
two pin IP67 aircraft connector. It is cheap. Drilled a half inch hole.
Soldered some wires to it and a bog standard in-line light switch and wired
it all up. Now I can plug in my switch, turn the grinder on and listen for
the change in pitch when the tank is empty. The whole soldering, drilling
and installation took a half hour.
Every time I am completed from flushing I remove the switch and stow it. Without the plug and switch the pump does not operate. The new switch is in parallel with the old so the old red button still works fine. Easy. Works great. Recommended.
