Regarding your question about pouring water down the toilet after #2 - couple of things here - it may freeze and solidify taking a while to unthaw and drain when you need it to. We were told by an RV Tech to put rock salt in the black tank to keep it from freezing, but we never did. We were worried about the salt causing corrosion issues, eventually, plus we didn't camp for more than a couple of nights when the weather was freezing. A better solution would be to completely winterize your unit, including the tanks, and when you plan to use it for a couple of nights in freezing weather, carry along potty packs - chemical that you put in a bag and use that over your toilet (using your toilet bowl like a holder). You can camp in freezing temps using basins to catch your wash water, etc. If you run your heater and the vents are designed to keep your tank from freezing, then you wouldn't have a problem using the toilet and then dumping it at the end of your stay.
