Sorry if this is common knowledge, but searching I couldn't find this specific info - just general guides on dumping.
I use dump stations more often than not so when I'm at a full hookup site, I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do with my hoses after that last dump through the site hookup before I take off. At a dump station, I'd rinse the hoses with the non-potable water there. But at a site, it seems uncouth to put your 'icky water' hose on the h2o tap at the site to rinse your sewer hoses. So I've been just making sure I have plenty of gray, and letting that be the rinse. It's not awful... a little of that gray water smell, but no brown bits if you get my drift. Would prefer a rinse though....
So what do most people do with sewer hoses when unhooking from a full hookup site?
Make sure gray tank is full. If not, simply run water from the sink into the gray until it IS full. Then Dump black and then gray.
I carry a spray bottle of Clorox Clean-Up tucked in the sewage bay.
When I pull the hose from the hook up I spray it down with the spray cleaner, and again at the connection to my sewage bay. THEN store it. I've never had any smells.
