After you resolve your issue and get the tank flowing again, make sure you keep the black water valve closed, and allow the tank to get at least 3/4's full before you drain. Using an application of Happy Camper will go along way to eliminating odors and keeping things fluid. Anyone who tells you that some sort of black tank treatment isnt needed is just plain wrong.
Been MHing 25 years plus, black tank odor and issue free!
First part is correct...don't leave the tank open. You want the solids to be floating so they flow out and you certainly don't want them drying out on the floor of the tank.
The second part is wrong. Plenty of water is the solution...been RVing for 50+ years, black tank odor and issue free! Never used snake oil in the tank.
