Personal question about the toilet
New to class C's as of last August. Not to ask too personal a question of complete strangers but... So far the onboard toilet has only seen the likes of #1. How many folks use it for all occasi...

Here's my #2 cents! Most black tanks are much bigger than they need be, so using plenty of water keeps everything working. The problem is you don't want to be using your onboard freshwater.
For years I have had this 2+ gallon, orange Tide laundry detergent bottle. Before a trip I fill it up and dump the entire contents in the dry black water tank (this way I know how much water I have in the black tank).
Fill it again and leave it in the bathroom.
In use- fill the bowl 1/2 way with the water bottle (no TP) so it looks like the toilet at home. Do your business and flush it - done!
At the end of the trip, I fill that same bottle of water and use it to rinse the black tank after dumping.
Advantages-
Putting water in the bowl helps control the odor.
Usually get a clean flush.
Minimal use of the coach water. Even the TP lined bowl needs a bunch of water to flush.
