I can’t imagine filing my sht tickets in a trash bag......they reside the same place as last nights dinner!
There really is no science to tanks. Just basic procedure.
Let black tank fill, don’t leave it open. You want the rush of water to take the “stuff” with it. Even if you’re sitting on fhu for a while.
Agitation is key. If you just dump at the fhu after a week even with a lot of water, chances are there will still be some recycled cheese burgers left in the blck tank. Best to drive home/somewhere and get a good milkshake going in the black tank before dumping.
Then dump the gray tank to flush the slinky with some nice used soapy water.
And idk if it helps, but periodically I’ll toss some dishwasher detergent, laundry soap or dish soap in the black tank. Never have treated black tank and never had a stink issue.
Most of the stink and turd mountain problems come from regular static use and not so much moving the rv around. Not near the issue for weekend warriors like myself.
Of course, keep the food and grease to a minimum in the gray tank as well. This ain’t your home sewer system.
