Appreciate any suggestions: is this an easy fix if I elevate it a bit or do i need to visit the expensive dealer in Syracuse NY?
Separately, if someone knows of a local mechanic is Syracuse, that would also be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum Bill!
Wish your first post was under better circumstances, but finding problems are what shake-downs are for. I don't have Sprinter Roadtrek, so I'll have to leave the assistance to others here.
But for clarification, you model has a hose reel? And just becuase you hear the macerator pump spinning, doesn't mean it is pumping. From experience I can tell you the rubber impellar inside can go bad. But more common is for the pump motor to jam and blow fuses until it is manually spun to free it up.
When you get it working, you will enjoy the macerator pump.
