Black Tank Flush - Anti-Siphon Valve

In General, it's understood that campers should avoid hooking up to potable water while cleaning/flushing anything related to black tanks so as to minimize possible potable water contamination. My question: Will campgrounds permit full hook-up sites to flush black tanks using the on-site fresh water system if we are using Anti-Siphon Valves? Do Jayco units with black tank flush systems have built-in Anti-Siphon Valves? I'd like to save time and bypass the dump station to flush my black tank with their non-potable source.

Yes, they come with an anti-siphon valve. Every RV I have owned with a tank flush has had one.

I always black tank flush right at the full hook up campsite. I cant think of a fellow camper who doesnt. Maybe certain campgrounds dont allow it, but I have never encountered it as a rule or regulation.

I install a "Y" at the campground spigot. One branch supports fresh water supply and the other is for the black tank flush...
