How common is it to use a maserator and a garden hose instead of the standard 3" hose used for emptying ones black tank?

Check out sewer solutions. Like a macerate, but no moving parts. May take a bit longer than a stinky slinky, but much more compact and clean. SewerSolutions.com,I think. Been using mine for over two years
If anyone is interested, Camping World has these on sale as an internet only item right now. About 120 bucks. It had good reviews and looks like an excellent solution for home use.
Several of you have indicated you use a macerator for "home" use. Why would you use it for home use but not use it when you are at a campground?
Yeah John, I ordered one too for home use, but I need a thirty five foot run so I am going to use PVC pipe (cheaper). On our last camping day of a trip I have always disliked getting up in the morning at a nearby state or COE park (within 150 miles), packing up getting all cleaned up and then having to stop at the dump station (often waiting in line). Now I figure I can just take care of it when I get home. I am glad that someone started this forum because I had never even heard of a macerator.
I can't use it at home cuz the BH would not fit on the driveway! But I was pondering that if the 20ft was not enough, could one connect a section of stinky slinky to the sewer connection and then attach the macerator to the slinky? With the right extra fittings, the slinky could be flushed clean into the macerator and at the end of the job you'd be done. Would eliminate the need to have PVC pipes laying around.
