2) after dumping I flush with valve closed for about 3 minutes (do not get distracted here), then dump and repeat process again.
3) I then flush with valve open until water is clear.
4) I then close valve and continue flushing for a couple minutes to add about 5 gals water to tank.
5) I add a cup of arm and hammer washing soda to the tank via the toilet with some water.
5) tank is now ready for next trip

I don't believe in expensive potty chemicals. All that is needed is detergent to break down grease neutralize llow pH and provide a deodorizing agent. This works for me.
BTW if there is a line at a dumping station, I may skip a step to avoid dirty looks.
I appreciate the tips, thank you.
