False! With the right soil for the lateral field, a properly sized, built and used system does not need pumped, and will not "foul the area", and never need pumped.
The underground tank holds water and bacteria that breaks down the sewage to nutrients. The liquid bearing the nutrients is dispersed over a area and vegetation uses the water and nutrients.
What happen to the stuff pumped out of the tanks? It is dumped into another system that is hopefully big enough, and maintained well enough to break it down. And the expensive part of that maintenance is removing stuff that should never be in it.
This might help you. On second thought, I guess not.

Septic experts———one of my country homes has not been pumped since 1950 when it was installed. Home up North is right now at 50 years with 2 houses on it and this one here is right now at 14 years. We don’t abuse them and these 40–45ft DPs hold a lot of sewage, not water, that needs to be broken down. 4 showers or baths is all water not the likely contents of an RV black tank. Anyway we take care and don’t abuse ours. You can do as you like.
You are the reason that laws have been written to compel owners to do the right thing and pump the tanks before the entire system fouls the area.

I would never overwhelm my septic in the country by dumping my tanks in there. On the other hand when we built the house in town we installed a dump connection into the public sewer and enough slab to park our 40ft DP. Sure comes in handy even though the DP stays out in the country most of the time.
