Ah, sooner or later the Black Tank discussion has to begin!

Wouldn't have a bus without a macerator, although on our old crummy Liberty it had to be primed every time we wanted to use it. With our new wonderful Vogue, it works every time and even chops, slices and dices better than a RONCO.

Some folks make up a 4" sewer cap with a garden hose adaptor on it for use at most parks and don't use the flex piping for the black tank. In a single waste tank bus, this is the real deal; simple, no flex hose and you can dump the tanks from the inside (given the control system) when necessary.

Slick.

Some people in Tennessee prime their macerator by turning it on and then sucking hard on the hose. I guess it works, but wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Oh and most importantly, win42, please feel welcome to this crowd!! The old Groucho Marx remark of, "I wouldn't want to be in a club that would have me as a member," might fit, but we have lots of fun here and don't know the difference, so ignorance is bliss, I guess.

But don't go in the shower with Jerry. He is a really big guy.
