Should I connect my sewer line when camping?

I have heard different things about this. When I am camping at a spot which has electricity, water and sewer, I have been told to just connect the electricity and water. I have been told to connect the sewer when i am leaving to clean out as normal.

What is your opinion?

    I have done what you stated on an overnight stay. If staying multiple days I would hook up sewer when I arrive, but that is with a TT. If it is a unit that you have to drive for groceries etc. people may do different.

    You can connect the hose.
    But, don't leave the drain valve open.
    There's not enough water flow, when flushing, to completely flush the effluent down the hose.
