Rv home base in Maine

[cueball817]

Hello was wondering if there is anyone on this site living f/t in there camper from the state of Maine? I am living in my fifth wheel while I demo my house and rebuild the new one and I’m not sure how to empty the tanks…. The rv is very far from the house holding tank and seems like Maine doesn’t do cesspools which I was going to put in a small one for just camper…. Then apon research I found a macapator…. And making a special inlet for a hose into the home septic system. But most likely it’s going to get removed and relocated as well. So any help would be greatly appreciated!

While we built our new home, we lived in our fifthwheel. I used a FloJet macerator to pump the black 220' to her folks house. I used 1" PVC rigid and flexible at the ends for hook ups. I cleared it with with air pressure upon disconnecting. Pump about every 10-14 days for 9 months through the winter without any issues. Toilet paper is going to be your only challenge, some of it is NOT macerator freindly, even the RV stuff! We only use Scott single ply in the house with a septic system and the RV.

So what’s the best way to or is there a better macerator out there? I mean I do have a working toilet right now and will be getting a port a potty on site when we start digging so can always you that so don’t have to deal with toilet paper….

You can buy a sewage lift pump assemply and pump it to the existing tank as well
I've installed a couple of these for customers, and have worked very well
