Have seen people say they always carry 2 or more hoses. I saw a YT video where the guy recommends coming from the pedestal with a hose splitter before your potable clean hose to the rig. Later on he mentions keeping a 5 gal bucket with you at all times for putting out camp firepit fires, etc. The bucket stays upside down and covers the tongue jack to keep it dry. The safety chains clip on to hold it down. If I have a bucket handy and a water splitter handy, AND two separate ports for my quick connect coiled water hose at the front and rear by the outdoor kitchen, do I really need to have a 2nd hose with me as well?
My thinking is the only time it would be needed is to flush the black tank at the connection port. Does this normally get done in the campgrounds or once you're home at local dump stations? Correct me if I'm off here. I have no plans to use the blue clean hose on the black tank port, just wondering if I need the hose at all on the road. Space is most definitely a premium here. Thank you.
ETA: I should also mention 90% of our adventures will be 2 night or 3 night weekend trips and an occasional 7 night trip when we can make it work.
