Dumping at just 1/3 full begs for a build up. I would flush well then refill 5 gals or so and a big bottle of cheap dish soap for the drive to the next park then dump again. Sickening as it can be, use a clear adaptor and witness what you are cleaning out after a soap and water drive if it is no worse than used dish water you probably have it made

I mentioned weight issue because I am not sure how close to capacity you load your trailer, your gear, and yourselves.

If you want to dump it before you leave, you can always flush the black tank to ensure that nothing is left in it.

I agree, I always "slosh" the last load on the final day or two's drive, then dump at the park next to my storage facility. Once at the dump station, if there's no lines, I fill both the grey and black tanks to near capacity just before I dump. Never had a blockage.
