Can I leave the contents of the rear black (just pee and toilet paper) for 2 or 3 camping trips before dumping it so I can also build up some water in the gray to flush it down? I do have a black tank flush on both black tanks...but not having to hook up two hoses each camping trip will also save me some time for setup and teardown. But...I don't wanna cause myself any issues. Are there rules of thumb surrounding this? Adding certain chemicals to combat odors if I'll leave the contents in there? Camping trips could be a few weeks apart...or a few months apart. If I know we'll park for a while, I will dump the tank...but if the next trip is only a few weeks away, what the thoughts about leaving the contents until the next trip?
As always, thanks for your input.
the main issue I can think of is that the toilet paper might tend to stick to the walls, sensors, etc. if left sitting for a long time and dry out.
put some soap/surfactant/softener in that water and presumably the trip home will swish things around?

I always put a capful or two of water softener plus a few gallons of water into the black tanks after emptying and before we leave...so that will be in there for the duration until the next dumping....plus a drop-in puch down the hatch as soon as we get to the campsite....which will also be in the tank until I dump it.
