Good test.
I've watched all your tank adventures, very interesting.
No way to simulate this (that I know of) but we've had good results by adding just little bit of dish soap and maybe couple gallons of water at home (before traveling) or after dumping, then use tank normally. When it's full, drain and rinse a little. Then start cycle all over. Never any problems for us.
Did have one trailer that was more difficult than any other rv's we've owned. The tanks were so flat on bottom that tanks did not drain very well. Sometimes I would drive over couple 2X4's to raise one side for better drainage.
In future testing if you get pulled over, please keep camera rolling. Would be excellent camera footage of you explaining to cop what you are testing.:B

But in my opinion, you'd be better off just letting things soak.100% correct IMO. And no harm in dumping and filling with water maybe 1/2 way and let soak, maybe even a couple weeks between trips. Haven't seen to many outhouse evap dry.
