Macerator replacement on old Roadtrek

[sehsteve@gmail.com]

I have a 2006 Chevy Roadtrek 210 Popular and need to replace the macerator pump. Any recommended replacement pumps?
Any and all help appreciated.

Are you certain the pump is bad? Maybe the impeller is "stuck?" Or needs replacing?
I was ready to do a replacement, but then just got underneath and it was just a stuck impeller.
Will get a spare before next big trip.

Thanks Jim. Yes the impeller spins. This looks to me to be the original, not certain. I am going to order a new one if I can figure out the right product. Replacement looks easy.

It should be a sureflo 3200-001 pump. Roadtrek technically installed these upside down for proper and complete tank emptying. See this post

Thanks so much! I have ordered one and am glad my search is over.

I see my comment on the tank emptying previously posted could be interpreted incorrectly. Roadtrek installed the pumps upside down and because of that, they dont completely empty the tank. You may also want to look at the link in my comment in the link above referencing boosters post and read about drilling a drain hole in the macerator pump area by the impeller to let any liquid drain out that may weep past the seal. Since Roadtrek installed the pumps upside down, that drain hole ends up being on top, not the bottom.

Thanks again. I read through all the comments about it being upside down and drilling a hole. Not sure I am comfortable about drilling a hole and concerned I'd get it in the wrong place or damage something.

I'm going to drill ours this spring when it warms up, but once you have the new pump on hand, you'll see where the hole is between the impeller area and motor housing. Just need to re-create that hole on the opposite side.
