If you are planning on leaving your valves open, you will regret it - big mistake. Your black tank is a holding tank and needs water to remain in it so stuff floats rather than sink to the bottom. If you leave the valve open then that's exactly what will happen. The liquid will drain and the solids will go to the bottom and harden. Ever see those little black flys? Would you like them to get into your TT through your open sewer connection?
It is better to leave the grey and black valves closed. Use lots of water when flushing the toilet. go out and empty the tanks when needed, black tank first, the grey to flush out the hose.
Get one of those wands and use it on the black tank once in a while. I'd also recommend a clear elbow so you can see the color of the water coming out of the black tank. Use a separate hose for this.
Talk to the front desk about trimming next to your cable - what do they need from you? Maybe they will move it.
Not sure about the tires. At minimum, I'd keep them inflated and cover them with tire covers. Others will chime in I'm sure.
