Rest area dumps and hose fittings
There are times when I would like to flush out the black tank when dumping at rest areas. Not every time or when crowed. Last trip (4,000 miles) noticed many hoses either cut off the fitting or hose...

It's a time saving measure I think. The owner of the dump site doesn't want someone hogging the hole for 20 minutes filling and dumping and filling and dumping to "flush", or wasting all that water.
I don't know about Washington State, but in Michigan a lot of the dumps I've used have a nozzle / jet end on the rinse water hose. In Canada, the National Parks had a large rubber ball, so you avoided splash back while you rinsed your drain hose.
Save the flushing for the next time you're at a FHU camp site - then you've got your own hole and you're paying for the water and sewage... IMHO
