- fj12ryderExplorer IIIPersonally I found Eric's photo vaguely disturbing for some reason. :)
- Sport45Explorer IIFor those that do wear disposable gloves to dump, please properly dispose of them when you're done. Toss them in your trash can (or the nearest bio-hazard bin if you think it appropriate). Don't toss them on the ground or rinse them into the park's sewer. They won't cause anything but problems there.
If you're wearing them to keep from getting dirty then any old waste bin will work. If you're wearing them for fear of biohazard they should be placed in proper red biohazard containers. Otherwise, you're just spreading the possibly infectious material around. - travelnutzExplorer II96Bounder30E,
Eric:
Your posted black suit is actually perfect because you can still hold your sandwich with either hand, eat it, and sip your drink while waiting for the holding tanks to empty because your mouth is also uncovered. Great thinking and find! Multi-tasking at its best and made so easy! - eichacsjExplorer

Um where is the bagging equipment when you take it off? How will I get it off and wad it up without touching it? OMG I just can't win :-) - 96Bounder30EExplorer IIIf you want to cover everything but your hands..there's this one.......

Actually, it is quite hazardous as neither the sleeve or pant cuff openings are taped shut....possibly allowing biohazards to enter an otherwise sterile environment. Alors!

- holstein13Explorer IIOP here.
Thank you to all who have made suggestions. I ordered the X-large Nitrile gloves as a few of you have suggested.
As to whether or not you should wear gloves, I think that's really up to all of you. Personally, I'm more comfortable wearing gloves while disconnecting or connecting the sewage hoses; in between, dumps, I simply wash my hands.
But for Pete's sake, why are some of you so dogmatic about this? This isn't that important. Wear them if you want or don't if you don't, but I don't think anyone's position on this is decidedly better or worse than anyone else's. There seem to be happy campers on both sides of this issue. Having said that, I have enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts on this.
