So, I should keep the blackwater tank closed even when we have sewer hookups? And then simply open the valve and dump it every so often while camping?
YES! Wait until the black tank is 2/3 to 3/4 full before dumping, and if not at these levels when you are ready to leave and need to dump, add water until it is. You need plenty of water to better assure all the stuff flows out, but in fact it never gets it all.
I would suggest that you NOT keep the grey valve open all the time either and only open it when required or when washing clothes if you have a washing machine. While many say it’s only grey water, but there is stuff in the water such as soap, food, hair that if allowed to dry could cause some issues. Rare, but it does happen.
