If you leave it open the solids will not leave and you will get the dreaded brown pyramid.

Thanks For the info. I have not heard about the potential problem you mentioned and will be more careful from here on. On a side note, when camped for a period longer than a couple of days I do not leave the tank valves open, preferring to dump them every day or two. But when traveling and just staying in a spot for just 1 to 3 nights I do leave the valves open. We also use tank additives after dumping and before we leave the campground and so far they seem to do a really good job of breaking down the solids and also cleaning the sensors while we are driving. I will monitor things more closely now however. Thanks again for the heads up.
