Hi Hunter:

This guy does the following:

You are apparently talking about a campground situation where you have a 
drain hookup.

When I have the "slinky" attached to the campground drain and the 
trailer, the black water gate valve is closed.  In this configuration the 
 the grey water is free to drain through the drain hose instead of 
draining to the ground. So you are right, there is no accumulation of 
grey water that could be used for flushing the drain hose.

When the blackwater tank is dumped, I usually follow by pouring a bucket 
or two of water down the toilet (you could use a hose) and opening the 
tank gate valve again and running this batch, more than one if I have 
time, through the "slinky".

I use one of those three-way (Y) hose splitters with the ball valves at 
the water inlet to my trailer and have a short (~4 foot) hose with a 
garden spray nozzle on it attached to the "other" half of the "Y".

After draining the blackwater tank, and running extra buckets 
(batches...I don't need no steenking batches...) through it, I disconnect 
the slinky from the trailer, hold it up and use the short 
aforementioned hose and sprayer to flush it into the campground drain.

The "Blue-Bomb" technique shall be saved for another time.
