Well done, you could put a cap with a rotating collar or rubber/foam seal on the sleeve of the pipe so when you poke it into the storage it holds it in and stops road grime and smells coming out.
I'm really happy with how it turned out! We've been camping 1 time since the install and it took less than 2 minutes to drain the tank and no mess or fuss!
@@MrGMCMotorhome Oddly enough my macerator is next on the list. I hope that you don't mind if I follow your example. I thought that the rubber connectors were an awesome Idea. Maybe someday my wife and I will get to see Edna in real life.
I did, the Jim Bounds video inspired me to get a macerator! I considered his approach but I have fuel and LP lines running down that space in the frame cross members that he used. He was able to install a much longer hose because of more storage space. So far my hose length has been okay.
The on/off switch. It is a convenient location.... But Its a possibility, that a rock will get kicked up from the tire and turn it on. Might want to put a guard/shield or cover on it. It does look like you have it so forward is on/back is off, so less likely, but, they could bounce off something (the bumper?) and still hit the switch. I think I would have put in in the battery section of the generator compartment for safety.
Wow, great observation, I did set it up so that back is off because I was thinking about something hitting it going down the road. I thought about putting it in the generator compartment but I didn't want to have to open it every time I went to dump the tank. I like the safety cover idea. I can always relocate the switch later with a little rewiring.
Great question! The engine tick and low compression seems to have improved, I think I was having a sticky lifter problem or maybe a piece of carbon stuck in a valve. I haven't had any noise and power seems normal for the last year or so. The overheating continues to be a problem. I just replaced the fan clutch and will post that video soon. we'll see if that helps.
@@MrGMCMotorhome Thanks for taking the time to reply, looking forward to your next video with the update, hope it fixes the issue. If not there's plenty of other options to try that are covered on many of the vehicle rescue/get running channels. Regards from across the Atlantic.

Very good video....great camera work!

Great idea, I expect that there will be some minor improvements we'll make as we use the new setup.
That is a slick install.

If you haven't already, take a look at Jim Bounds vids on macerator install. He has some really good ideas on the outlet hose.

I also prefer my chocolate milkshake to be smooth, not chunky.
Enjoying your renovation of the GMC, however when are you going to sort the linked low compression/overheating issues?
