Don't forget to put the cap back on. I had to find an RV shop in the Black Hills because I forgot to put mine on and it got a little chewed up on the road.

Also, go earler, or later than the crowd (usually 10:00 am to Noon). That way you'll avoid an audiance and can take your time.


Good advice about the time, but no matter how many are waiting, take your time. Every one of them once had a first time and beside if they are in that big a rush they should have started sooner. Getting flustered or rushed is the thing that is most likely to cause an accident. It is very unlikely that you will have a problem, but if you do, so what. Just be sure to clean it up and learn something new.
My Grand daughters, 9 and 14, love to camp with us and every time I start the dump procedure they love to yell, "you need more hose".
