Is there a safe and convenient method to flush the tanks

Wow: glad that isn't mine. Aside from the header that allows you to shut off any individual faucet in case of service for a leak why would you need something that confusing? And most likely you can't add water to the tank by bucket if you need to. I have had to many times. No thanks, just an engineer needing work or get a layoff.

In August, I'm picking up a new coach and the water compartment looks like this:

Here's a closeup:

The safe way:
Disconnect the coach completely from the city water supply. Use a separate dedicated hose to hook up to the city water supply and connect the other end to the gray and black flush. Disconnect everything and move on to the next campground when done. This would virtually eliminate any chance of contaminating my coach's water supply since the flushes will never be connected to my coach, but it's not convenient.

The convenient way:
Hook up a valve splitter to the coach's spigot and connect a small hose from the spigot to the flush port. This is super convenient because I can leave everything connected and just turn on the spigot whenever I want to flush my tanks, but it's potentially not safe.

My question to the forum is this, is there a safe and convenient way to do this? Maybe a quick disconnect and a better backflow preventer?
