You guys talking about not using enough water are barking up the wrong tree. It's a plumbing problem not a water problem.
The OP's trailer is probably plumbed in a similar fashion to mine. The black and gray tanks are side by side with the drains on the sides of the tanks facing each other and are are coupled with a tee. From tee there are two more 90 degree turns before the exit point. So waste has to essentially make four 90 degree turns within a very short span. Flow rate and velocity are greatly reduced as a result.
I've been doing as the OP suggested for years and it works great.
Those of you that have a tank with a straight shot out the end won't have this problem.
Good point!
