Ok, I am the exception to the rule it sounds like. I take the blue quick connect hose that came with the monty and have it hooked up to my flush system and to the outside faucet inside the convience center. That way when I am ready to flush my tank, I just turn on the hot and cold water valves inside the sytem and flush my tanks. After running the flush for about 15 - 20 mins, I just turn off the faucets inside the convience center and my tank is flushed. I don't drink any water from the taps inside the Monty. Should I be worried about any back wash going back into the plumbing by leaving it hooked up like this. When you go to a dump station on the road without water hookups, flushing like this using the fresh water tank and the pump works quite well also.
The quick answer as to whether you should be worried is YES! I don't trust check valves.
