)
Draining
When draining the waste tanks, always drain the black (toilet) tank first. When it is done close the valve and drain the gray (sink and shower) tank. This will clean out the black water from the hose. You will still need to rinse the hose with fresh water, but you won´t be dealing with the black water!!
Wear Gloves
Next time you are at the store, buy a pair of rubber gloves. Get the kind that cover half of the forearm. Stash these with the rest of your tank draining equipment and use them every time you dump the tanks. When you are all done, give them a good rinse and put them back.
Clean Up After Dumping
After you use a dumpsite, make sure to take the time to clean up. Wash down the drain apron with clear water and close the drain cover. Leave it like you would like to find it!
Sanitizing
Buy a container of waterless hand sanitizer and store it with your tank dumping supplies. After you are done dumping, use the sanitizer before getting back in your rig. This will prevent germs from being transferred to door handles and sink faucets while you clean up.
