Quick question: in my 2013 R29S can I add water to my holding tank through the "Waste" deck plate? I'm getting hauled out for the season next week and would like to fill it half-full with clean water then have it pumped prior to winterizing.

Yes, this is standard practice. Use the hose at the pump out stations for this (well, at least don’t use the hose you use for freshwater).
 
Be careful not to overfill as that will put waste water in the vent. Often vent lines are not self draining so the waste would sit in it. I flush my tank every time I pump out. I also rock the boat before pumping out flush water.
