    To solve the limiting factor of the hose diameter you could adapt the outlet port to accept a 1.5" cam lock fitting and go with a 1.5" lay flat hose that would be easy to store,

    To go from the 3/4 to a 1" female and the the quick coupler you could use theses firings

    Then you would need a 1" male to 1.5" male or female cam lock. Many ways to get there

    I use lay flat hose for irrigation, so some are pressure rated and others not, so choose wisely.

    Just a thought

      This one will run 20 minutes and comes set up for a 1.5" hose https://www.thetford.com/product/san...le-tank-buddy/
      But its pricey.

        Yoda -- the SaniCon Turbo looks like what Cate&Rob has -- those hoses are huge compared to the Flojet's garden hose.

          The Thetford Sanicon name sounded familiar . . . found the kit that I have (came with its own carrying case) on their parts page (no longer in production)
          ​​​​​​https://www.thetford.com/part/tank-buddy/ The newer versions would probably work as well or better than the version that I have.

            Okay, I'll admit it. I used a 1 HP garbage disposal for a macerator. I had to push the waste up between 4-5 feet over 40 feet, so I put a 1 hp flow pump behind it. It took about 90 seconds to empty the black tank on my class C.. I was using 1" PVC for the lime to the septic.

              I am curious. How did you hook up the garbage disposal to the dump fittings. Sounds like a good DIY project.

                Yoda I used an adapter with the 90 degree sweep. https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Sewer-Ho.../F02-3112.html I put the bottom of the adapter into the top where it would seal to the sink. I used a black rubber dishwasher hose to go to the pump. I had to slim down the neck where it went into the top.
