Dutch 12078 has it right! I do the same thing for the back-flush process. I use a "Flush King" style. Same as the OP referenced, except it has a clear section you can see through.
About a "simple" 10 minute replacement if the camper valve goes bad??? That's not true for every camper. I'm on my 3rd camper and each camper has had the slide valve hard plumbed into the black PVC lines. The only way to get them out is the cut the black PVC drain pipe and replace, there's no flexibility as both tanks flow to the same point. In my current camper, it would be even more difficult (much longer than 10 minutes), as I'd have to remove the under cover first. That in itself would probably take MUCH longer than a simple 10 minutes.
