My bathroom sink is also plumbed into the black tank. While on the one hand, Thor probably did this for convenience sake, you can use it to your advantage.
What I do is when I dump the black tank, I open the spigot to the sink in the bathroom. That way, I get fresh water going into the tank while black water is coming out. And I have the option of flushing with hot water, which might... I say might, help keep the black tank clean.
Sort of a poor man's tank rinsing system...

Before I dump I do just that. I run hot through the sink first. Whether or not it helps, I don't know but havent had black tank issues yet.
Weird thing though, at a recent rv show we looked at some high end diesels. They had cheater vents. Couldn't see the roof. But the tanks need to be vented so I wondered why they too use these valves. Smh. 😕
