Camco Rhino Cordless RV Macerator Pump Kit, 18V
Camco Rhino Cordless RV Macerator Pump Kit, 18V — Product description
The Camco Rhino Cordless Macerator Pump Kit takes the worst chore in RVing and makes it quick. Its 18 volt lithium-ion pump grinds and pushes black tank waste out at up to 12 gallons a minute, through a slim 15 foot hose, with no sewer hookup and no wiring. Charge it, carry it, dump, done.
The Camco Rhino Cordless Macerator Pump Kit solves the one job nobody looks forward to, and it does it without a gravity sewer hose, a hand crank, or a set of jumper cables. Drop the pump onto your RV's black tank waste outlet, connect the 15 foot hose, and let the 18 volt lithium-ion motor grind and push the waste out at up to 12 gallons a minute. That's it. No downhill dump run, no wrestling a three-inch slinky hose, no standing in the mess.
Here's why that matters. A macerator chops solids into a fine slurry, so instead of relying on a big gravity sewer hose and a downhill drop to the drain, you can move waste through a regular garden-hose-size line and even push it uphill. That opens up dump options a standard setup can't touch. Parked far from the dump station? Run the hose. Boondocking and need to move tank waste to a portable tote? Done. Got a sewer cleanout at the house and your local rules allow it? You can empty your black tank straight into it without dragging out the big hose.
The cordless part is the real upgrade. Older macerator setups wire into your 12 volt system or clip onto the battery, which means you're fishing for a power source every single time. This one runs off an 18 volt lithium-ion battery pack, and the charger's in the box. Charge it at your site, carry it to the tank, and go. No wiring, no alligator clips, no engine running.
Camco built the kit to handle the whole process. The 4-in-1 adapter fits the four common dump station inlet sizes, so you're not guessing whether your fitting matches the station. The clear rinse cap on that adapter lets you actually see the flow, so you know the moment the water runs clean and the tank's empty. The backflow preventer keeps everything moving one direction, which is exactly what you want when you're dealing with waste. And when you're done, storage caps seal the pump and hose ends so nothing drips in your storage bay, and the whole kit packs into a vented carry bag that lets it dry out instead of trapping moisture.
The 12 gallon-per-minute flow rate is what makes it practical instead of a novelty. That's quick enough to clear a typical black tank in a few minutes, not the slow trickle you get from an underpowered pump. Pair that speed with the ability to push through a slim hose, and tank day stops being the chore that decides where you can and can't camp.
Who's this for? Full-timers and weekend RVers who are tired of the gravity-dump routine. Anyone who parks in spots where the sewer connection is uphill, too far, or just plain awkward. And really anyone with a holding tank they need to pump down, because a macerator doesn't care what the tank is bolted to. If you've got waste to move and no easy downhill path to a drain, this is the tool.
A couple of honest notes. Rinse the pump and hose with clean water after every use. It's a two-minute habit that keeps the impeller and the hose from holding odor, and it's exactly why the clear rinse cap is so handy. Agitate a heavy tank before you dump it, a splash of water and a short drive or a tank wand, so the macerator's feeding slurry and not a solid plug. And keep the battery charged and stored dry between trips. Treat it right and it'll empty tanks for years.
The kit shows up complete: the cordless macerator pump, the 18 volt lithium-ion battery and its charger, the 4-in-1 adapter with the clear rinse cap, a hose connector, the 15 foot water hose, the backflow preventer, storage caps, and the vented carry bag to hold it all. Nothing else to buy to get started. For the RVer who wants tank day to take five minutes instead of thirty, the Rhino cordless kit earns its spot in the storage bay.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to plug this in or wire it to my RV?
No. The Rhino kit is fully cordless. It runs off an 18 volt lithium-ion battery pack, and the charger is included in the box. Charge it at your site, carry it to the tank, and empty. No wiring, no battery clips, no engine running.
How fast does it empty the tank?
The pump moves up to 12 gallons per minute, quick enough to clear a typical RV black tank in a few minutes rather than a slow trickle.
Can I empty my black tank into a sewer cleanout at home?
Yes, where local rules allow it. Because the macerator grinds waste into slurry and pumps it through the included 15 foot hose, you can push it into a home sewer cleanout without the big gravity sewer hose. Always check your municipality's rules first.
What does a macerator pump actually do?
It chops solid waste into a fine slurry, then pumps that slurry out under pressure. That means you can move waste through a slim hose and even uphill, instead of depending on gravity and a wide sewer hose.
What's the 4-in-1 adapter for?
It fits the four common dump station inlet sizes, so you get a secure, leak-free connection wherever you dump. The clear rinse cap on it lets you watch the flow and see the moment the water runs clean.
How far will the hose reach?
The kit includes a 15 foot water hose. That's enough to reach most dump station inlets, a portable waste tote, or a nearby cleanout even when your rig is parked away from the connection.
What keeps waste from flowing back?
A backflow preventer is included in the kit. It keeps everything moving one direction, out of the tank and toward the drain, so you don't get any return.
What comes in the kit?
The cordless macerator pump, an 18 volt lithium-ion battery and charger, the 4-in-1 adapter with clear rinse cap, a hose connector, a 15 foot water hose, a backflow preventer, storage caps, and a vented carry bag. Nothing else to buy to get started.
How do I keep it clean and lasting?
Rinse the pump and hose with clean water after every use, agitate a heavy tank before dumping so the pump feeds slurry instead of a solid plug, and store the battery charged and dry. The vented carry bag helps everything dry out between trips.
