Amazing things some folks do

I am amazed at the actions of some fellow RV campers do.

There's the fellow with blue gloves draining the grey and black tanks with gloves "blue" unhooks the sewer hose and then proceeds to disconnect the white drinking hose from the RV and sticks it in the sewer hose to wash it, RV connector to sewer RV connector, then coils white hose after putting sewer hose away still decked in blue gloves.

Or the guy with two white hoses, one hooked to the water spigot and the other one to the sewer cap, I wonder how many times he hooks them wrong?

I have white hoses for potable water, a gray hose to rinse sewer hoses and a blue hose to wash down the RV or toad, I always run some water prior to hooking up and make sure that the spigot gets washed too.

As some have mentioned you can not fix stupid.

    :h

    Three hoses, I would call that Over Kill! How do you store the the three hoses??

    I never use a hose to rinse the stinky slinking, I use the Galley and Grey tank to do that! Once the grey tank has finished the hose is clean! Where do you store the stinky slinky? Mine is all separate in a 5" vinyl fence post.

    Seen one guy use gloves to empty tanks and remove his slinky that's ok but then he proceeds to turn on and off water tap and removes his white hose with the same gloves on! Guess he doesn't want to get his hands wet but leaving his $:!+ on the water tap for others to touch is ok?


    Which "water tap"? Most dump sites around me have a rinsing hose at the sewer dump that is marked "not potable", and then further down is a "potable water" tap for refilling your fresh water tank. I always keep my rubber gloves on when using the water at the sewer dump to rinse out my stinky slinky.

    I don't use gloves......

    I use to smoke a cigarette while dumping but I quit smoking last Sept. so now I just eat a snack.....usually peanuts or cashews.

    Course when I was a kid we ate dirt, ate worms, ate fruit/vegetables right off tree/out of ground, swam in ponds, drank from hot rubber hoses, swallowed some gasoline time or too.....
    Besides....check valves on tank flush/city water connections and it is MY poop.

    Saw you lurking......guess I should have waved.
    ......Figures....

    :S Indeed.......

    What good does that do you when you don't wash your hands with or without the gloves on???
