When we had the smaller TC the black tank was a limiter for us as well.
When we needed more capacity I rigged up a blue-boy on a rear hitch rack, which was right under the dump valve. When the on board tank got full, I would dump in to the blue boy. Then we could fill the on board tank again. This effectively doubled our tank capacity.
When we got to a dump station, I would drain both the on board tank ad the blue boy. I drilled/tapped an outlet on the bottom of the blue boy to drain using an old pc of garden hose.
Used this system on x-country trip and it worked great.
