Vacuum is faster for first 1/2 tank, but once the tank gets low, it is hard to hold the vacuum. There is also a chance of collapsing the holding tank with the vacuum. The vacuum pump is also much noisier and expels more odors. There is little time difference between the two in the total time used to completely empty the tank.
The diaphragm pumps will move anything that will pass through the 2-inch hoses. The macerator will not handle hard items such as plastic, peach pits, cigarette filters, tampons, etc.
You take the pump to the RV waste gate and hook up with the viewflo adapter. The pump grinds the waste into 1/8" particles and pumps it through a 1" hose to the HONEY WAGON.
The diaphragm pump is mounted to the trailer. You take the 50 foot 2" hose to the RV outlet; hook up with the viewflo adapter; and let the pump do the work. The pump has an up and down stroke. The up stroke takes the liquid in and the down stroke pushes it into the tank. With 40-60 gallons per minute the tank will be empty in no time.

We have no dealers. Units are sold factory direct from our location in South Central Pennsylvania (halfway between Harrisburg and Gettysburg).
The units are crated and shipped on their wheels by motor freight, delivered by our driver, or are available for customer pick-up.
It normally takes 1-2 weeks for in stock wagons. In the slow season, it may not be as long. Special order wagons take 4 weeks.
Most parts are kept in stock and available for the same or next day shipment by U.P.S.
The tank and trailer have a one year limited warranty. The hoses, pump, motor, and adapters are for 60 days.
Operation in the Park
- How do I know when the Honey Wagon tank is full?
- How does the tank empty?
- What is an appropriate fee to charge to pump an RV?
- What method can I use to handle pump-outs so I'm not pumping on demand?
- Can I build my own wagon?
The plastic tanks are translucent. Therefore, the level of the tank can easily be monitored while using the wagon.
It is gravity drained, alowing for quick, clean, and easy use.
Most Phelps Honey Wagon owners charge three times their daily sewer rates.
Some owners pump on specific days of the week. Others have their seasonals hang a request tag. Daily campers could also sign up at the office to be pumped at a specific time.
If you are mechanically inclined and have the facilities, we sell complete pump kits to install on a trailer and tank. We also sell tanks separately.
