    Put it on a very sturdy platform made of pressure treated 2 x 6's, and have a step.

    Hi Healthy

    There sure is. As joypulv said, you can build a platform and install a MACERATOR pump system such as the sanishower system to pump the water upand into the sewer system.

    Check the sanishower system out at http://www.saniflo.com/trade-profess...e/sanishower-®

    If you have more questions just let us know, OK?
