When you have hook ups for water and sewer:
1)Do you hook up direct to the water system or fill your tanks and drain it down?
You can do it either way.. When I was married we usually (Save for one CG) hooked up and used the park water.. At that one CG there was an issue with excessive chlorination of the city water. and I found that Fill and Use stored water fixed it (I have a bit of training that suggested it might work and it did). Once my wife died I kept using the Fill and drain method due to the other water concerns It worked very well for me.. So it depends on how much water you use and how often you change campgrounds.
2) Do you leave the sewer valves open or closed? What is the best way for it to properly drain?
Keep them closed till it's time to dump.
In the RV magazines you will see the ad for the useless black tank chemicals that show a "Stinky" rv with odor coming off the roof vent.
He's got his valves open.. Guarantee it.
