My current coach and my last would splash water (we hope) from the toilet after a trip and then the first time use, sometimes more than once. Is there any trick of the trade (sort of speak) to prevent this from happening? Tank had very little water so being full was not an issue. Just curious. Thanks. Chuck
 
This video I ran across explains a few things about the black tank and issues you may get. It could explain it for you. OR you could look on youtube further. In this video the guy talks about black tanks when he gets inside the TT over half way thru video I think.

What make & model of toilet are we talking about? Also, is this "splash" coming up from the black tank waste or in from the fresh water re-fill line?  I'm also assuming this happens when you flush - is that correct?

If the tank blows a bubble back into the toilet when you flush, that usually means the tank vent is clogged. That can happen if the vent pipe is too far down into the tank, or if some paper has gotten stuck in the pipe inlet. Or if the tank is simply too full.
 
It's a dometic standard flush with pedal. We have a 2017 Newmar Ventana LE. Doesn't happen when we are at site. Seems like when we arrive. Thanks everyone for you help.
 
Could be that too much water is being flushed when you step on the pedal. Do you have a valve you could close to control the water flow?
 
We had similar (same?) problem.  It was tracked back to water pressure while on city water.  It was high pressure on the flush that was too strong  to remain in the stool.  Once we confirmed that it was "clean" water splashing out, a small adjustment to the aim of the water jets solved the problem.
 
One of our trailers in the past had a rear bathroom.  The ride was so rough back there that we made sure we didn't leave any water in the bowl when we were traveling down the road or it would slop out onto the floor.  The ride in the back of the thing was very violent and even one inch of water in the bowl would end up on the floor.
