Where is the Macerator located on my 190?

Open the side compartment where your macerator is located. On my 190 it is a lift up door for the side storage compartment. Also open the door – on mine – next to the storage compartment to the front of the van – to access the grey and black tank handles. You pull the hose out of its compartment, nozzle first.

How does a Macerator pump out gray water?

I turn the macerator back on and a minute or so later the gray water is all pumped out. I will then run some clean water down the sink to flush out the graywater tank, sewer hose, and green discharge hose. The macerator will pump almost all the residual water out of the sewer hose.

Can a Roadtrek be connected to a sewer?

The factory design with the pull-out blue 3″ hose on my Roadtrek is a nice idea. If the sewer opening is positioned close enough, and there are no curbs or rises between the Roadtrek and sewer, this arrangement works rather well and is fairly quick.
