Black Tank flush with valve closed
Is it common for people to close the valve with the hose still running in order to prime the tank with some fresh water?

I never add water back to an empty black tank.
But when I go to dump my black tank, I always make sure it is full before dumping. If it is not full, then I have a small block of wood I keep in the bathroom that will wedge between the wall and the flapper valve, keeping the flush valve open and the flapper open, so that the toilet will fill the black tank.
Obviously you have to pay strict attention here and not wander off or you will flood your RV with poo water. I have never had that problem.
Once the tank is completely full, I pull the waste gate and let 'er rip.
I figure the full tank gives a nice "power flush".
I never use a hose or any other sprayer things to hose down my tank. It's clean enough - when it's empty and I look down the hole I can see daylight through the milky walls of the tank.
