Adding a protective sleeve over your RV macerator hose is a smart idea to prevent damage and extend its life. The macerator hose is not very robust and can get pinhole leaks due to being pulled out of the storage compartment and from abrasion while on the ground during pumping.
Our Unity use to drag / clunk the rear hitch in our driveway or anywhere with a large dip in / out of a entrance/exit. The macerator pump is in an area where it could make contact and that would be a very bad thing!
We had what we considered excessive noise coming from our macerator pump. It was not enough to alert zombies, but there was a bit of a drumming / reverberation noise in addition to the “standard” pump noise. We felt a couple of minor tweaks to the way the pump was mounted may provide some improvement, so here is what we tried.
In our continuing journey to enhance the ride of our Unity (its a CB model) and given the success we had with adding Rear Sumo springs, we decided to invest in front Sumo springs—specifically the SuperSprings SSF-106-40.
Although the Unity drove nicely from the factory, there was clearly room for improvement, this based on other class C motorhomes that we have owned. After doing some research on what improvements could be made, we decided to first add rear Sumo Springs to the suspension system.
