Nope. Nothing easier to get around it.
The only ways I can think to get around having to pop back up is to:
A) run some water in the black holding tank's vent and subsequent hose on the road side (impractical at best)
B) install a gravity water fill outlet that runs to the holding tank. Just make sure it is water tight as you want those gasses going out the vent stack and not right below your window area.
With the fold-down hard walls of the bathroom on the Avalon, there's not really any way to access the bathroom unless you pop up. Those walls effectively cut off the bathroom doorway when folded down.
Fleetwood/Coleman changed up the plumbing configuration just about every other year but if it's like mine, the gray water (no holding tank) and black water holding tank terminated at the same 4" bayonet outlet. That's a disaster waiting to happen.
I wouldn't recommend the Hydroflush as there's no way to get chemicals back up into the tank.
I have been dumping my black tank and leaving it like that between summer trips for years. There's no need to use chemicals in the first place, at least in my experience. I bought some and used them a time or two but found them to be of no value. YMMV.
