Ok Karen just calm down. It's not like I intend to do this all the time, just once in a great while...and my whole tank is only 25 gallons. I don't have some big 35 foot fiver or monster bus. My black always fills faster than my grey because we are such water misers. Don't judge lest you be judged.
It doesn't matter what size camper you have. It doesn't matter how small your black and gray tanks are.
It is not an acceptable way to empty your tanks while camping.
Get a 10-20 gallon portable black tank. Dump your tank in it, then drive it to the closest dump station. No need to move your camper during a long stay. Use the campground pit toilet as much as possible to slow down the filling of the black tank.
If other campers see you do it, then they will start doing it. It will become a major problem at the campgrounds and the campgrounds will take action. It doesn't matter how small your tank is, the next guy will say "but mine is only 26 gallons. What's another gallon". The guy after that will say "but mine is only 28 gallons". "But mine is only 30 gallons". And so on.
I have a cassette toilet and a 20 gallon gray tank in my trailer. I use the campground facilities as much as possible (nighttime bathroom visits are the main exception). I have a 6gal portable gray tank. I use the cassette and 6gal portable to dump in approved dump locations as needed. It's not that big a deal.
