is there an easier-to-use sewer cap?
The sewer cap on our TT gets really tight...don't really want to wrap my hands (even in plastic gloves) around it to get a good enough grip to get enough torque to get it to come off...had an idea... ...

Been at this for awhile, here’s my take:
1. On the hose/female connector, I removed mold flashing on the inside of the tabs with an xacto knife. Don’t remove too much or it won't lock in place.
2. Grease the same tabs, the inner face, the gasket and the mating surfaces on the coach side with silicone grease. Keep the grease away from the gripping part because it will make it very hard for your hand to get any traction. For that reason I don’t use spray. I would not use any petroleum base products, it can cause swelling or deterioration of plastic or rubber parts. You can get a small container of silicone grease in the plumbing dept.
3. Using nitrile gloves (maybe others, too) helps the grip as long as you stay away from the silicone grease.
My 2 cents, maybe 3

BTW- that same grease works great on latches. Wipe it on then wipe it off so it doesn’t smear. One more cent
