The dump outlet on my 2017 Landmark Arlington is so low to the ground that almost always runs uphill to the campground's sewer pipe. I have to keep lifting the last 5-6' of hosed for it to drain out. If the campground's sewer drain is downhill from my unit, it's fine. But that seldom happens. This makes dumping a much bigger job than it should be. Does anyone else experience this? Are there any solutions? I've found almost nothing else I don't like about my unit but this is a real pain!
2017 Arlington dump outlet installed too low

Dave, yes I could raise the coach but it would be quite a bit many times. There isn't enough room to re-position the pipes to gain enough clearance. I'm wondering if I'll have to invest in a macerator. Thanks for responding!

I do carry a macerator for just those occasions.
We had a site at Falcon Lake State Park in Texas that had the sewer on the opposite side of the coach and it was about a foot higher than than my dump outlet.
I decided I would not go through that again and took a ride to Tweety's and bought a macerator.
Peace

I saw a Landmark that had the sewer pipe coming out from the back of the split frame(I think thats what you call it)
So the pipe would make a 90 degree turn from the black dump valve and run along inside the underbelly and come out the back metal plate(the 1 that closes in the split frame, facing the back of the camper), then another 90 degree turn with the cap on it.
I hope this makes sense, I have thought about doing this to mine cause its really low to the ground too.
If someone has this setup, maybe that will post a picture of it.

I have a cord from the battery that goes to the off door side near the sewer outlet.
I do like your idea but I think that I would get anothe male plug and wire it so that when plugged into the truck it will provide 12 volt power. That would work great for your macerator and compressor.
