The really pertinent questions is do you wear plastic gloves when hooking up and take down. Do you use your fresh water hose to flush the dump hose. Have you ever,ever dumped black water to the ground surface. Did you ever back flow black water into the grey water tank for that extra little bit of hold capacity. Have you forgotten to close the valves before putting the cap back on and dropped a couple gallons under the rv next time you dump. How do you wash your shoes after a dump.
The answers to the above can describe wither you are an occasional rver or full time traveler
Not sure what bearing this has on being a fulltime traveler or not, as we are fulltimers, but here are my answers:
* Yes, I always wear gloves. To set up, tear down, to pump diesel, etc. Am sure to always handle the fresh water hose first, so the gloves are clean.
* No, I do not use the fresh water hose to rinse the sewer hose. I carry a separate hose for that.
* No, I have not dumped black water on the ground.
* No, I do not share the storage tanks, as we always have full hookup so there is no need.
* No, I have not forgotten to close the valve before removing the cap.
* I also wear shoe covers if I am ever wearing shoes outside that will ever be worn inside. I have horrible allergies and do not want to track the allergens inside.
