My question is, how do you guys use your black tank rinser when at a full hook up site? I do have a separate hose I would use exclusively for the rinser, but there is only one spigot here and it is for potable water. What do the rest of you do? No sewer/dump available at home.
Either swap hoses when you're ready to dump or buy a Y hose connector at Wallyworld. (shrug)
Personally, when I'm ready dump, I'll hook up the rinse hose and run it for a minute or so (assuming the black tank is not brim-full), then open the valve while leaving the water running. When the tank appears empty, I close the valve for about 5 minutes and dump again. If time is not an issue, I'll do it a 3rd time, but that's been rare. Rinse the sewer hose with the black water afterwards.
