I'm interested in the lift of one of these. I sometimes camp in places with no sewer hook-up and the dump station is not close by to tow the blue tank.
It'd be nice to be able to put the blue tank in the truck bed and pump the RV holding tank contents into the blue tank and then go to the dump station.
Are any of these capable of a 30' or so distance with a 4 foot lift?

Here are the specs for the one I have:

It can go up to 50' with a 3/4" hose. I can't readily find the elevation rating but up into a truck bed would be no problem, I'm sure. I seem to remember hearing of people elevating 10+ feet.

I essentially go up about as high as a truck bed to the opening I spliced into my drain piping and it's no problem at all. Sucks a completely full tank out in just a few minutes. It's probably a bit longer than the gravity draining but not much.

I want to add a macerator to a 5th wheel

I modified a SanICon 300 by removing the alligator battery clubs and adding a 24 volt trolling motor connection permanently connected to the house batteries, removed the hose from the pump and added a transparent piece of hose and cam lock connections to the supplied discharge hose. Works great and the hose end has the capability of adding additional 3/4" hose. Click image for larger version

Vertical pumping capability is called "head" in the specifications table.

However head is a complicated measurement that takes into account the density of the product, length of run and diameter of the hose.
