Didn't mean to start a firestorm, but apparently I have.
A few answers or explanations.
1) I plan on getting a black flow preventer for my hose I used when dumping the black tank.
2) It sounds like some, if not most on here, believe I keep a hose hooked between the spigot at the camp site and the black tank flush system all the time. Never the case. I hook it up when I need to flush the tank.
3) It also sounds like some if not most here think I have a full black tank when hooked up. Not so. I dump the black tank, then hook up the hose to the flush system, and turn it on. I let it spray and dump at the same time, so there is no way "stuff" from the black tank can enter into the hose.
4) There is a vertical run of at least 3 feet before the black flush piping exits the rear of the trailer. The black flush connection on the rear of the trailer is nearly 4 feet above the ground.
One thing to keep in mind is that "mods" you do, are still on the RV when you sell it. You may know how to use the RV "safely" after you do a mod, but who knows what the newbie who buys your RV will do. The valve might stop an newbie from making us all sick.
