Kids will add a potential for some complications. Start early with explaining that it only something they ate or toilet paper can go down the toilet. If you have any girls let them know that personal hygiene products are never to go down the toilet. Start now with a trashcan in the bathroom by the toilet while the kids are still young. You want them (boys and girls) to get used to not throwing kleenex hair from the shower, tampons etc down the toilet.
I second the suggestions to not leave any valves open. You will quickly learn how often you need to dump the tanks. Since you're trailer is not going to move you won't have the benefits of the contents of the tank sloshing around. So in that case you need more water in the tanks before dumping so things can get washed out.
Of course this is not set in stone. The world will not come to a stop if you dump the tanks more or less often. It is after all a tank full of stuff, not a carefully monitored and controlled biosphere. So for instance, if you are going to take the kids to the beach or lake, dump the gray tank before you leave so they can take showers when you return. You can do this even if you dumped the day before.
