Black Tank Fills Quickly......
There are usually 3 or 4 of us when we go camping. On a 7 day trip we will usually have to dump the black 1/2 way through the trip because it's near the bottom of the bowl. When we are leaving after...

Is it the Jayco X17Z in your profile? If so, it only has a 22 gal. tank which is kinda small compared to the average of something like 30+ gal and you're just asking too much out of it.
Sounds like you might be getting it clean enough but there are some things that will help. Not sure what you mean by "flush line". If you haven't got one, get a clear "backflush" elbow and you can blast water back into the tank and clean more stuff out. To speed filling the tank up a bit, in addition to using the pedal see if your shower head will reach over to the toilet. I do that sometimes and you can unscrew the head for a bit more flow. Your water flow is likely around 1-2 gpm at the toilet so you're looking at 11-22 minutes to fill it right up and there's not much you can do. A wand down the toilet might help or better, add an in-tank flusher on the side of the tank.
Try adding 2-3 gallons of water each time before using the tank after a dump/clean. Tanks are generally rather shallow and depth to tank bottom can vary between makes & models. If you don't get some water in to start and along with some water each time you flush, you can build up the infamous "pyramid of poo". Without enough water, it's not gonna flatten out at all and will rise up and restrict the pipe into the tank. A shallower tank will make this happen faster. Never skimp on water in an effort to make the tank last longer.
