Camco Rhino RV macerator pump kit 12V self-priming — fits 3", 3.5" & 4" outlets, run-dry and high-temp protection

The Camco Rhino Camper/RV Sewage Macerator Pump Kit is a 12V self-priming macerator system that pulverizes and pumps black water through a standard garden hose so you can empty tanks farther away and uphill without a sewer hose or dump station.

This all-in-one kit replaces bulky sewer hoses and gives RV owners portable, quiet, and reliable tank-emptying capability. Built around Camco’s VortexCore macerator head and a 12V DC motor, the Rhino kit breaks solids down to about 1/8" so waste moves easily through a 3/4" ID garden hose. The package includes adapters, hoses, power leads, and accessories so you can connect to common 3", 3.5", and 4" sewer outlets and empty into a variety of receiving points—septic cleanouts, portable tanks, or household drains approved for RV waste.

How does the Rhino Macerator let me dump without campground hookups?

The pump grinds solid waste finely and forces it through a narrow hose, which removes the need to reach a dedicated dump station. Its self-priming design establishes a suction lift so you can pump from lower to higher elevations when necessary. That flexibility lets you empty tanks at home, at a private septic cleanout, or into a portable waste tank.

• VortexCore macerator reduces particles to ~1/8" for smooth flow
• Pumps through 3/4" ID garden hose for long or uphill runs
• Self-priming 12V motor provides up to 10' vertical prime
• Works with 3", 3.5", and 4" sewer outlets via 4-in-1 adapter

Is the pump safe and easy to operate at the campsite?

Yes—Camco engineered the motor for quiet operation, built-in protections, and simple controls so setup and use are straightforward. The unit includes run-dry and high-temperature protection to help prevent damage, plus a power cord with an on/off switch and clamps for secure battery connection. A freshwater inlet with flow control makes internal flushing convenient after emptying.

• Run-dry and high-temp motor protection for durability
• Low-noise operation maintains campsite peace
• On/off switch and power cords included for safe setup
• Freshwater rinse inlet with control for easy cleaning

What comes in the complete Rhino Macerator Pump Kit?

The kit is intended to be plug-and-play for most RV owners, supplying the hoses, adapters, and accessories you need to connect at the dump port and to a receiving hose or tank. Everything stores compactly in the vented carry bag so the system is transportable and ready when you are. The included backflow preventer and caps help keep things sanitary during storage and transit.

• 12V self-priming macerator pump with VortexCore head
• 4-in-1 adapter and clear rinse cap with hose connector
• 15' water hose, power cord with switch, power extender, and 30' battery cord with clamps
• Backflow preventer, storage caps, and vented carry bag

How far and how fast will it move waste?

The motor delivers up to about 12 gallons per minute under typical conditions, and the fine maceration lets waste travel through narrow hoses over longer distances or inclines that would be difficult with standard sewer hoses. Actual flow depends on vertical lift, hose length, and hose diameter, but the system is optimized for common RV disposal scenarios.

• Approximate maximum flow: 12 GPM (conditions vary)
• Capable of pumping uphill with up to 10' vertical prime
• Pumps through standard 3/4" ID garden hose for distance

Who this is for: The Camco Rhino Macerator Pump Kit suits RV owners, full-timers, and weekend travelers who want freedom from fixed dump stations, homeowners with RV storage, and anyone needing a portable, quiet, and robust solution to empty black water tanks into a septic, portable tank, or approved drain. If you value independence, simple setup, and accessories that keep waste-handling sanitary, this kit provides the core components to make tank-emptying faster, cleaner, and more flexible.
