You need to put a few tablespoons of Metamucil in the tank every trip.  (GRIN)

Extra water.  Dump some ice cubes in,  and drive around.

Change your diet.

To Adam Metzger:
Good advice from others: flush thoroughly, drive around the block a few times w/ lots of water and ice cubes.
So this does not happen again - never, Never, NEVER let your tank go completely dry - 2 or 3 gallons to slosh around keeps her clean, Only do # 2 in emergencies and never put toilet paper down her throat, Use Billie Kelley's "Recipe" at each dump.

I agree with the insistence on never allowing the tank to go dry, but can't
observe the others. We have VERY good luck by using our black water tank
freely, but periodically adding a dose of Rid-X -- NO other chemicals,
EVER. We have no odor problem, have never had a macerator stoppage, and
use the toilet just like the one at home -- nothing but septic-safe toilet
paper and previously consumed materials. One precaution I do try to
observe is to always dump immediately after arrival, before anything has
been allowed to "set up". I DO have a "spray flusher" to which a water
hose can be attached to wash down the tank, flushing toward the drain
valve. That's used after each trip to be sure no excessive buildup
occurs. I usually follow that with a fresh dose of Rid-X to help keep the
"good bugs" healthy.

We use our black tank like the Mexican hotels....NO PAPER goes into it.  Plus we always keep at least 2 gallons of water in it prior to leaving on trip or weekend.  We've mever had a problem.
