Do they cut hose end off at dump station on purpose?

Thoughtless & lazy people are to blame. The park puts a hose with a threaded end on because that is the way a hose is. It is also the way people with rinse systems need a hose to make the system work.

The lazy sod who does not have a rinse system, nor does he have an old hose with an end cut off, destroys a good hose for his convenience leaving it useless for all after him.

It is not like hose sprayers cost that much. Buy one & keep it in the service bay to use for hose rinsing.

Not always that simple or convenient. Some dump station hoses can't be disconnected so easily.

We use the black tank flush system when the hose has the fitting attached, if not, we just draw a bucket of water and dump it down directly the toilet. Hold the foot valve open to get one big slug of water flushing out the tank and drain hose.

It's really not a big deal to us. Of course, we never got hooked on all the modern camping conveniences in todays world. Although we do enjoy them when present. ;)

Yes, unfortunately it is intentional. Anything a facility can do to keep folks from holding things up at the dump station.

x2. Carry an old hose for this. And be sure to reconnect their hose when you are done. And of course try to do this when no one is waiting in line behind you.

Not only should they NOT have a threaded end on to, prevent filling of fresh water tanks, it also helps speed up the selfish idiots who think that taking ten to fifteen minutes of slow ritual, while dumping, is just fine. Even though there is a line backing up behind them. I can only imagine how bad it would be if the same type of clods add a tank flushing ritual to their list of OCD procedures while dumping. It's simple, put a pair of disposable gloves on, connect the hose, dump the black, dump the grey, put the hose away, move on. If it takes more than five minutes, and there is somebody behind you, you need to rethink the ritual.

Unless you are putting the RV away for the season, there is zero need for a tank flush. Once you dump, use the onboard water to add a 2-3 gallons to the black tank, as a bonus, toss in a small amount of liquid laundry detergent, and drive away. After decades of doing this, and dumping many hundreds of times, I have never seen a need for a flush system, or had a tank clog, while on the road. Sitting for months at a time, in a seasonal site, yes, on the road, never.

The issue is people stick the hose end the sewer hose to rise it out, possible contaminate and some will try to fill there fresh water tank with it,
