Hey everyone,
I'm sure many others have likely already done this "mod" but I thought I'd post it here to give others the needed push to get it done too.
Since we've had our Bighorn, every time I've needed to hook up a sewer hose, there has always been some "icky" mystery liquid come out when removing the cap from the main sewer connection. "ICK" indeed! I have always connected the sewer hose up to the campground drain first, then while wearing blue nitrite gloves, attempted to catch the icky mystery liquid in the hose as best I could. Yuck!
Easy solution, and probably the easiest mod I've ever done. Buy one of these http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/twist-on-valve/27868 (Camping World part#27868) for about $22, and likely available at most RV stores. Put it on, and leave it on your trailer. Leave it closed while travelling. Hook up sewer hose easily without any icky mystery liquid coming out. Once the hose is hooked up completely, then open the Twist-on Valve before pulling any handles in the UDC. Obviously, close this valve before travelling again.
Once you're satisfied with the operation of this, might want to use some sort of glue so it doesn't come off during travelling.
I wish that I had known of this before. Hope this helps someone.
