LATCH.IT RV Macerator Pump V2.0 12V — 12–15 GPM, 10 ft Lift, Portable Kit with Hoses

The LATCH.IT V2.0 is a portable 12V macerator pump that quickly grinds and transfers RV black and gray water through 3" waste outlets, delivering up to 12–15 gallons per minute and a 10-foot lift for fast dumps.

Designed for RV owners who need a dependable, on-demand solution for emptying holding tanks, the V2.0 pairs a thermally protected 12V DC motor with a stainless-steel cutting blade and a full set of fittings and hoses so you can connect and dump at home or at busy dump stations. The unit is self-priming within limits, built for portability, and intended to reduce clogs by macerating solids down to fine particles while providing enough suction and lift for common RV configurations. Read on to learn how it fits into your RV workflow, what to expect in the kit, and safe operating practices.

How fast and powerful is this pump?

The V2.0 uses a high-output 12V DC motor that delivers up to 12–15 gallons per minute, moving large volumes quickly so you spend less time waiting at a dump station. It provides a maximum lift of about 10 feet and about 3 feet of suction, which covers most RV setups.

• Flow rate: up to 12–15 GPM for rapid emptying
• Lift capability: up to 10 feet vertical lift
• Suction: roughly 3 feet self-priming
• Thermal protection: motor includes overload protection for durability

What connections and accessories come in the kit?

The V2.0 arrives as a ready-to-use kit with the essential hoses, clamps, fittings, and a quick-release valve, so you can hook up to a 3" RV waste outlet and most garden or standard hoses without hunting for parts. A convenient carry bag helps keep everything organized for travel.

• Included: 1" hose (10' length), QD fitting with on/off valve
• Barb fitting: 1" barb with 3/4" NPT adapter for hose compatibility
• Adjustable metal clamps and power cables with extension
• Carry and storage bag to store the pump and accessories

Will it fit my RV and how do I use it safely?

This pump is specifically engineered for RVs with 3-inch diameter waste outlets; it will not fit other outlet sizes without an adapter. For longevity, always run water into the fresh-water inlet while the pump is operating — the unit must not run dry — and follow standard sanitation precautions when handling waste connections.

• Compatibility: designed for 3" diameter RV waste outlets only
• Operating requirement: continuous fresh water flow through the inlet
• Do not run dry: pump damage can occur if operated without water
• Hygiene: use gloves and sanitize fittings after use

How does the macerator prevent clogs?

The V2.0 features a stainless-steel blade that reduces solids to very small particles, which lowers the risk of blockages when transferring waste. That mechanical maceration, combined with high flow and included hose fittings, provides consistent throughput even with heavier tank contents.

• Stainless-steel impeller/grinder reduces solids to about 1/16" particles
• High-flow motor pushes macerated waste through hoses smoothly
• Quick-disconnect valve allows controlled start/stop during dumping
• Robust clamps and fittings secure connections to prevent leaks

Who this is for: The LATCH.IT V2.0 is aimed at RV owners, full-time travelers, and seasonal campers who need a portable, reliable solution for emptying black and gray tanks faster and cleaner than manual dumping. If your RV has a 3" waste outlet and you want a kit that arrives ready to use with power cables, hoses, clamps, and a carry bag, this pump is built for convenience, repeatable performance, and reduced clog risk. If you have a different outlet diameter or cannot ensure continuous water flow during operation, check for compatible adapters or alternate models.
