should I put in the tank,a gallon,maybe two? I'll do it with a solution from WM.
You were told wrong.
I've never "cleaned" the black tank and I've been camping for close to 50 years (and we've had stationary sites at times).
Use plenty of water when you flush and let the tank get at least 3/4 full before dumping. No need for chemicals or other treatments.
X2 on this
I never dump with less than 3/4 full black tank. Even with a full hookup at campground I always tow home with black tank almost full. I have a clean out connected to our septic tank at home that I can position out TT next to. I dump black tank then fill back to 3/4 full to full with garden hose then dump again. Sometimes twice till clear elbow on swer hose shows clear water draining. I stopped using chemical treatments a long time ago.
