This is more of a "different strokes for different folks" thing, but I also pack up my hose. I left it hooked up once... and wound up with sewer smells coming through the hose into my rig. Won't happen again.
Plus, with a twist-on valve, I use the gray water as a "free" backflush for the black when dumping. I dump the black, close the twist-on valve, open the black and gray tank valves, give water time to fill up the black, close the gray, then open the twist-on. That winds up backflushing the lower half of the tank. I then repeat once more, then dump all the tanks, close all valves, put the hose back in its plastic tub, and call it done. Since the gray water is going to wind up at the same place the black is, might as well get some extra use from it, as opposed to using more water for a black tank rinse.
