Make sure your hose is rinsed out well with plenty of clean water and that will take care of most of your problems. A real clean hose does not present many storage problems.

It is all mind over matter.
If you don't mind, it don't matter. To me, there are more important things than being anal retentive about a sewer hose. Like it or not, we are all going to eat a little s--- at one time or another. I am going to have my immune system built up and ready for it.
In 70 years, I have spent 3 days in a hospital and that was with a broken femur. My health is very good and I think I owe it all to s--- sandwiches.

Sorry.
I do tend to get defensive when other people are offensive.

I did see a camper this summer in a state park pull up and dump then throw the hose in the camper. On the other extreme are those who never use the bathroom in their campers because they would have icky stuff to dump.

Box of latex gloves from one of the dollar stores. I keep it just inside the storage compartment.

Same here. But I get mine from Harbor Freight. I use those 20% coupons you find in many magazines.

I just use a sewer storage bag from camping world along with the gloves. If you rinse it out after dumping it shouldn't be a problem.

Well I have two sewer hoses, a short one and a long one, short one stores in a Rubbermaid type box with a lid and I also use that container when I open the sewer drain cap to catch the drainage that is always ready to dump out on the ground otherwise. Then when finished, dump container into the sewer drain and rinse it out.
For the long hose I use a plastic tray type box that is meant for mixing up small batches of concrete or grout. Available at Home Depot or Lowe's.
For gloves I use the blue disposable from Harbor Freight. If there is no garbage dump available when dumping I toss the used gloves in the black tray with the long hose and get rid of them later.

Tom, have a way to fix the problem of having liquid run out when you remove the cap. This is what I have and it works great and it's not expensive. Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSagjLjB7YI

I have one of those too. Have heard of them being stolen at campgrounds, so I fastened mine on with a couple of screws. It can still be stolen but not without a screwdriver. Never even have a drop leak out.

For 4 dollars and change I buy new valve seals and replace them. Then they don't leak. I suppose you could just keep adding valves each time one wears out, but repairing the old one is so easy that it makes more sense on my rig.

I agree it's easy to overhaul a valve but the problem is on my rig, I have to pull down the 7' X 7' belly in order to get to the valves and that's only for 2 of the three tanks.
