Many thanks,no,the RV is stationary,...
If the camper is stationary, then here's a good alternative:
1. Dump tank completely.
2. If you have a built in tank flusher, use it. If not, go to #3.
3. Flush the tank with a toilet-tank wand on the end of a garden hose.

4. Fush with it as long as you want. If you use a clear section of sewer house on your bank outlet valve, you can see the contents when the water starts running clear with nothing mixed with it.
Easiest solution here.
If I were parked permanently, I'd probably do this after every dump.
Hopefully, you are letting your black tank fill up before emptying. If your valves are open all the time, nothing is getting flushed out the black tank except water. Your solids are building up. You need water to move the solids out. Otherwise, the solids will begin to build up and next thing you know, you've got a tank full of solids and ... well ... solids are just that ... solid, and simply get harder and harder and harder. Then you've got problems.
Close valve, use the tank till almost full, then dump. Every now and then use the wand to push the solids out that don't move. Clear section will let you see what's really coming out.
Good luck!
