Congratulations on becoming a full timer!

You may balk at this suggestion, but don't put any kind of toilet tissue in the holding tank. I've boondockwd five months of the year for the last three years. The best decision I've made in regard to maintaining the black tank was to quit flushing toilet tissue. I have a one pound yogurt container with a solid lid that is lined with a dollar store diaper disposal bag. Toilet tissue goes in the container. When the bag is full I remove it, tie it off, and it goes in the garbage and the garbage goes out. Your own waste will dissolve in about 24 hours, especially if you put 2 ounces of TSP in the tank after you have emptied it. Always start with about five gallons of water in the tank so solids have something to dissolve into and are not landing on the bottom of the tank.

Good luck finding a solution that works for you.
