Well, heck, you guys & gals have taught me a lot, and I sure appreciate it.  Aside from the advice on equipment & supplies (like Dawn), it's nice to know some do's & don'ts when hangin' out at the dump station.  Yep, Trailer #1 would be a real PITA and Trailer #2 .. well, don't shake hands with that guy. Dead

And I found that the RhinoFlex and most everything else is right there at Wally World, so that was good news.

Thanks again, all.

P/S Full hook up sites I backflush the heck out of the blackwater tank using a clear HydroFlush and skanky garden hose. Dump sites and it's a 2 minute dump and run.

Actually that was Budward with the Dawn.

I tried the Geo method, and found the water softener caused more odor problems.  However, we were having issues with the lower toilet seal which was finally fixed this summer so maybe it would be ok now.

We were at a campground about 6 weeks ago & I asked the girl in the office where the dump station was at. She promptly told me. Then said " it gets lined up on sunday mornings, so pull into an empty full hookup site & dump there". I thought that was a great idea & used her advice.
Lesson Learned...
BTW, we have a straight clear tube that I put on the dump valves before the stinky slinky.
