Hey Y'all! Have a noob question!
Hello. The Wife and I are from Texas and we just bought a new Lance 1995. It will sit on our lease the vast majority of the time and we have a question about our blackwater tank. We'll use it ...

Boxer, you'll be fine, and you already have the setup to be your own mini septic pumper truck.
FWIW, our camper, 90% of the time it's on the truck and being moved regularly when the toilet is being used. Obviously, no issue with emptying the tank.
But last year I spent a month straight in it for work. Month's worth of #2s daily (beats the portapottys on the job). I emptied the black tank near the end of the month through the garden hose connection on the drain cap. No plugging. Just lots of chocolate milk and TP!
It was kind of a test as we'd never let the camper sit, in use, for more than a week before moving/dumping. Shined a light down the terlet hole afterwards and didn't see much solids left over in there at all.
If you gave it a quick douse with a 5 gal bucket or 2 of water right before dumping, it will get as clean as it needs to for sure.
