I'd fdump before storing. Put a bunch of water in the black tank if there's not much in there. Dump it then add several gallons of water into the black tank for storage. Also drop in a chemical treatment. Better to be safe on this one. Problems here will be expensive. And icky!

We've never stored for any length of time with "stuff" in the tanks. In the heat of summer they can get ripe fast. You won't wreck anything but you could come back to a pungent smell. I've always dumped & put in some fresh starter water, with some deodorizer, to hold over until the next trip.

There is great need for a sarcasm font.
