Once the meter says 2/3 full I open the black water valve and let it flow still using the second hose line for a couple minutes of additional rince.
Why not just run the bathroom sink until the black tank says 2/3 full since the sink also runs to the black tank? (granted you're not getting the "rinsing" action you would if you are using pressurized water going into the toilet but if you are just filling the sink works)

I have been thinking of flushing the diluted Chlorox thru the toliet and black tank but not sure about that???? So any more senior RV's please feel free to comment.
We try to keep any bleach solutions away from the black tank in the event that the bleach prevents the black tank chemicals from doing their job--especially if you buy the enzyme stuff. I have no evidence that this happens though so it could be complete hokum!
