The previous owner most likely let the black tank sit and go dry. The solid waste (aka Poop) is now like concrete. It will take some time, water, and soap to clear it out. Liquid Tide soap is a good wetting agent.

Dump...Fill with water and soap, let sit, drive with a few good STOPS, dump.

(By the way, the chemicals sold at RV stores and walmart are not any better than just soap....Just $$$ down the drain :)
Been there done that....Guess what problems my kids bring to DD to fix?
