Adding a valve on the toilet?
The toilet in my camper uses a lot of water every time we flush. We typically camp at state parks without a sewer connection, and the black tank gets full quickly because of the large amount of water...

Here's one at Home Depot. A little expensive but high quality. SharkBite Pex valve No special tools needed.
All you have to do is cut the tubing very straight and clean (razor blade works good), slide the small white pieces supplied with the valve inside the tubing and then push the whole tube into the Shark Bite fitting.
There are simpler, cheaper plastic valves too - that's what I installed many years ago but I'm having trouble finding those.
If your anywhere near Bothell Wa. I have a spare you can have.
EDIT: Found the one I used on Amazon: Flair-it pex vavle
This one is very easy to use. Simply cut the pipe straight, slip the collars down the ends of the pipe and then shove the two ends of the pipe onto the Flair-It fitting. Use a hair drier to heat up the Pex pipe and it will easily slide over the barbs on the fitting. Then snug down the collars.
I've had this one installed for 7 or 8 years.
