Have you seen home toilets that use a pressurized water tank to flush the toilet? I put one in my house back in 95, and it never needed to be flushed twice! It used only about 1.2 gallons per flush, and according to the brochure from the manufacture, it put out 13 GPM for about 1.5 seconds, to clear the bowle and can dispose of 13 ping pong balls in one flush. So that type of tank would not need to be flushed before driving. Still the top might slide off the tank. A small velcrow strap should keep it in place.
The problem? Well you guessed it - the 1.2 gallons of water with each flush. So you can fill a 30 gallon tank in about 20 flushes. That should provide enough capacity for a really long weekend, with two campers. Not so long with a family of 5. So no problem in your situation, with full hookups, and no long dry camping weekends.
The weight of the toilet, held upright while going around curves might become a problem. You will find out if the hold down bolts try to break free, or damage the ceramics that hold them down.
Good luck!
