How much water in holding tank
When I break camp, I drain all tanks. How much water should I put in the tanks to travel. I am thinking a couple gallons with some bleach

Just about everybody has their own idea and methods on this subject.
However, common sense will tell you that if you have a few gallons in the black and gray tanks while traveling, the back and forth motion of the water will slosh around and help to dislodge any solids or tp that is clinging to the sides and sensor probes. I try to aid this sloshing by putting in a cup of liquid laundry detergent along with about 5 gallons of water. I do this for both black and gray. Some add Calgon water softener to aid the soap and to make the interior of the tank slippery.
We NEVER use any type of rv tank chemicals along with rv toilet paper. Total waste of money in my opinion.
Like others, I typically only put in enough fresh water in the fresh water tank to aid in flushing the toilet (we drink bottled water).
