There are 3 conditions when camping that affect the use of water. 1-With sewer hookup. 2-No sewer hookup but nearby dump station. 3-No sewer hookup-what goes in stays in.
1-Use as much water as you want, just leave the valve closed until you are dumping.
2-Cut back some, but you can always unhook and go to the dump.
3-The important thing is the fluids in the tank must be enough to carry the solids out. The water you put in with each flush only adds to the fluids in the tank and is mostly unnecessary if you have enough fluids in the tank. Notice I said fluids, not just water. My bathroom sink is plumbed into the black tank so that contributes to the total fluids in the tank. So, what works for me is to put water in the tank after dumping, then use only a minimum when flushing. Of course, when you dump add water if necessary to make the tank at least 3/4 full. If you do leave a little in the tank, the next time you stay at a full service CG you can flush out the tank really good.
