First time full hookup site

[ams1130]

We are not beginners at RVing, but this summer we will be staying for the first time at a park with full hookups (a five day stay only). For our waste tank dumping we've previously just used the blue slinky hose and used the dump station's lid (or whatever it's called) to hold the hose in place.

Should I be purchasing a 'better' hose, and do I need an adapter to hold the slinky in the hole? We know to not dump until the tank is mostly full.

Some local ordinances require a threaded connection. I have encountered several.

Call the park and ask what the requirements are.

Most all RV parks require either a threaded connection or a rubber donut. Sometimes the even if the park has threaded connections they are poorly placed and the rubber donut and your threaded piece won't fit. CAUTION if using the rubber donut and then inserting your threaded connection make sure you secure it with something heavy. They have been known to disassemble when opening the tank handles.
