It's really not that bad. When I compare it to putting everything away inside before leaving- it's a lot easier. Recently though I held the open end of the hose too close to my face when draining it out to the sewer connection and got a nose full of sinus clearing. I have one of those storage boxes that sits on the back of the rig and plugs into my trailer hitch receiver. I just put all the hoses in there- just like a kid's toy box.

I just saw a guy that had his dump hose in a tube that swings out of a long compartment.
From there he pulled the slinky out of the pipe, to the hole, and pulled the valves open.
Then he pushed the slinky on the tube, capped it and swung it in to the compartment.
Reminded me of the water tank fills of the old steam trains.

Manufacturers can't make an automated system until someone comes up with a docking station to connect it to. It's called standards. Just like we have standards for plugs and hoses, someone could easily make a standard and then RV's could be equipped with such a system. Imagine pulling into or backing into a site and then pushing a button?

Love my "Trusty" valve! At least I think that is what it's called.  https://www.amazon.com/Trusty-Sewer-.../dp/B00ODIPER4
Hose stays attached all the time and only a drop or 2 left after a good rinse out when dumping. 
The trick is to give it a good rinse with lots of the gray water tank dump. Never dump the gray until it's 1/2 full or more. 
My wife is pretty sure it's a blue job, although once in a blue moon she will stand back and watch. 
Happy Glamping.

  Welcome to the forum!
SWMBO has a completely automated auto dump system that has a voice prompt. It will dump on command and she doesn't even have to get out of the dinette or stop doing her work.

You might look into a macerating pump system.

Hooking up the sewer hose, pulling a valve to dump it, hooking up a hose to flush the black tank, at what point are you touching poop? I mean really, is it that hard to do?
On the other hand......
People walk around the campground with their dogs, and (usually) pick up the nice warm poop with their hand stuck in a plastic bag. 
I’ve never changed a diaper (no kids), and never plan to.
However.....
I cleaned the bathrooms as a kid at our golf course (including picking the cigarette butts out of the urinals) as part of my first “”real job”, and in our fraternity house as part of “freshman house chores”; never even used gloves back in those days.
Just the other day, I cleaned the sewer hose fittings / gaskets; it really no different than cleaning a toilet. Yes, I clean toilets at home and in the RV too....

Around about 7:47 on this video.  I think it might be his first time. Like the rest of us, I'm sure he'll get better with practice. He actually makes some pretty good videos. I've enjoyed watching the series.

My clean Dump system is as close to touchless that I could find.

For everyone's enjoyment, the classic Sewer Dump scene from the movie RV!

Loved that movie. I have watched it several times and just got another good laugh.
Fortunately, have not been the recipient of the fecal matter bath and hopefully never will.
Thanks for posting.

Mine is semi automatic. I have an electric black tank drain valve and the SaniCon macerator pump. Both are wired to the inside of the coach. I place the SaniCon nozzle in the sewer hole (SaniCon hose is always connected to the black drain) and open the grey tank valve. The grey tank drains as necessary and I can open the black tank and turn on the SaniCon from inside. When I'm ready to depart, I turn on the SaniCon and drain both tanks. I close up my slides, disconnect the SaniCon hose fromm the campground sewer and cap it. I never have to clean the hose or try and store it somewhere while it drips on you. The SaniCon nose just stays in the wet bay on the floor.
