Dump Gloves

I use these http://www.homedepot.com/p/MD-Building-Products-Grouting-Gloves-49142/205329341 and they last about a year. It says online only, but I get them at the Home Depot store.

No gloves, just wash hands when done...I dont use gloves to wipe my butt either!!

Yea yea, and there is usually a sink right next to where you "wipe your butt" with soap and warm water. I'm curious to know where/what the hand washers use - the non potable water at the dump station? All I can think of is that I'll soon be eating the sandwich my wife made prior to departure with the same hands used to dump my waste water. Some don't have fresh water spickets on the TT. To each his own I guess.

No gloves for me. I finish dumping and soap/rinse using the fresh water drain on the fiver which is right where I am too.

In all the decades of rving I have never used gloves. I keep a small bottle of go-jo in the front compartment. I wash up my hands after closing up shop.

I use disposable latex gloves from Harbor Freight. They seldom tear. One trick is to get much larger than you need and avoid the sharp edges like a hose clamp. Works well for me.

Can you give me the HF part number for latex gloves? I can only find nitrile gloves.

X2, 40 yrs and soap and water has been all I've found I need. Obviously normal precautions should be used. Only time I do anything extra is if I have an open or healing wound that could get contaminated.

I guess the thing that I find off-putting is when I first unscrew the cap from the blackwater valve. On both of the RVs I've rented in the past there's always been about 1 or 2 cups of blue water that pour out all over my hands even with the valve tightly closed. Yech! And there I am trying to hold the dump hose underneath so that it pours into the hose instead of onto the pad.

These are good suggestions, and maybe after a few more times RVing I'll have the stomach to do it gloveless. To tell the truth, I may as well have done it gloveless considering how much blue I've gotten on my hands despite my best attempts otherwise!

Rental......blue chem

No need to commit further 'Rental' is enough said.

Blue Chem. Getting that on you would be like being turned into a 'smurf' and then having to explain for the next week

OH yeah I'd be gloving and suiting up.

Get your own RV. Problem solved even that blue chem cause you don't need to use it.
