I don’t have any experience with a macerater system, but owning a 5255 I can appreciate the utility of one.

The question I’d have is which setup would be best. One that attaches to existing dump tube or one that requires modifications.
 
Morning Tom - Our BT 5230 is more for stop and go traveling with short periods of camping. I should know more this afternoon when I look at available space. The 5230 does fit into parking lots for sight seeing and We do not tow a second vehicle. The RV shop we use just installed a new custom dinette , 800 watts of solar and a thermostatic fan with remote. I suspect he would be willing and able to install the macerater and a place for discharge hose. If we move ahead with project I will post photos.
 
I attempted to install a pump and hose and discovered they hang to low for a practical installation on our 5230.
