So are you saying now that it is OK to make people wait at the dump station???

No. We're not talking about a dump station.

Really no reason to flush between dumps when still on the same site for an extended camp. Do it once when you are packing up to leave.

No problems at all, in fact I use a Y connector on my system.

ONE caution however...

If you use the 2nd hose to flush the tank put a quick disconnect on the flusher inlet and USE IT,, Unhook the hose except when flushing.. DO NOT leave a hose hooked to that fitting (Ok so I do leave a six inch hose hooked to that fitting but notthing hooked to the other end of that hose) (Make it easier to attach the charged line when I flush)

My Flush hose has both a vacuum breaker (Garden hose fitting size) and a spring check valve, then the quick disconnect.

Inside the motor home (hiden where you need to dig to find it) is a 2nd Vacuum breaker, and a 2nd spring check.

That's two belts and two pair of suspenders.. NO, I'm not paranoid, Did not know about the built in ones when I built the hose.

sounds very similar to my set up.

the sprayer (tornado) has a check ball in it, and i have a back flow preventer close to the QD connector, then another one on my short bit of hose.

Well, then your dinner plans are all set I guess.
