used to use a rock but now carry a 10 lb hand barbell type weight that stays in place nicely and is easy to wash off.

kitty litter
We travel with a cat and always have at least a partial bag of kitty litter in the basement. Bag is heavy duty, has Ziploc seal so doesn't leak litter.
A few RV parks with unthreaded connections have been thoughtful enough to have a piece of cinder block to use.

Rocks, bricks and cinder blocks are ill suited for holding a sewer connection together. They are hard surfaced and only have a very small contact(friction) patch on the curved sewer nozzle. Something with 5-10# of weight that can curve around the nozzle is much less prone to "accidents."

Not a problem, cheap plastic throwaway gloves, no one has pooped in RV in 14 years. Using facilities and no emergencies. Can't be too bad, it worked for part time traveling.

Dump
In the real world. Do you put anyting in your mouth that you don’t want or enjoy? If the food and water you put in your mouth moldy or dirty?
So whatever goes in you is clean and safe, then whatever comes out is clean and safe, except it’s the leftover that your body does not need.
Just think about the reality and then it’s not an issue.
Wash your hands, you get more germs from money!

Most dump stations I’ve used have a netal cap over the drain, I just use that to hold the elbow.

During my travels I have found non-threaded sewer recievers in campgrounds as well. Typically in government campgrounds like Corps of Engineers, State Parks and military FamCamps. I cut a piece of 3"diameter PVC pipe 2' long and glued another 90° elbow to match the hose end. It has worked well in every situation I have encountered since.

I recently started using a short pc of slinky about 20” long that has the normal fitting on one end and is raw on the other. I hook it on and drop the raw end in the hole. Works really good, I can walk away from it.
Mad from a damaged pc of hose someone left at a local CW.[emoji41]

^^^^^
That is what I do also at dump station. Only difference is our coach has a slinky hose storage spot that holds a hose that is about 10’. Put the end without fitting down the pipe and dump.
Hose it off and put it back in its storage spot.
