"do the right thing" ?????? I could have just shat in the pit toilet! Same net effect. Geesh!
It's not the same net effect.
When used as intended, a single use may introduce between 2 cups to as much as 1/2 gal of material. The higher end would be a big #2 with a lot of #1.
Your typical RV toilet, will typically utilize several times as much with the flush water, so you are introducing far more volume in a system not designed to accommodate large volumes.
As far as the hose idea, you might get a bit out but the problem is unless you close the valve, most will simply flow back into the tank when you lift. But if you close the valve, it won't flow out of the hose when you lift.
The 5 gal bucket would likely work better but still not a good idea due to overloading the pit toilet.
If you are camping in rustic areas a lot, a composting toilet would be my recommendation (I wouldn't recommend it if you have regular access to a dump station). We had one on our boat. The solids container was good for about a month with 2 people using it full time, so you should be able to pick when to dump it. The liquids had to be dumped every 2-3 days but now you can legitimately claim that it's no worse than simply using the pit toilet as there is no added water. Or it can be dumped in a regular flush toilet. Heck I wouldn't have an issue digging a small hole in sandy soil, dumping the liquid in and covering (remote uninhabited area of course).
