MACERATOR PUMP NOT WORKING ... AGAIN!!!!
VEHICLE: 2012 Winnebago ERA with a macerator pump to drain the waste water tanks. I had a problem a year or so ago where the pump was apparently blocked with waste material and keep blowing a fuse ...

I suspect all of the BLACK TANK bottom floor is now solidified since not being used or properly drained anymore. Possibly blocking the drain plug hole.
Once everthing turns to solid waste it will be very hard to get it cleaned out...
This is what I would investigate first... Maybe remove the pump and associated hose path etc and try to fish a snake or high pressure water hose wand back up inside the black tank. Sometimes you have direct access to the black water tank from the toilet.
These are just guesses on my part - It maybe just be a failed motor on the pump... Hopefully your motor pump can be removed and tested - I'm betting the intake is totally stopped up...
I have used the portable 12VDC FLOJET 18555-000 Waste Water Pump Kit with a long 3/4-inch water hose. This is a nice RV TOOL BOX item to have around.. Mine has stopped up on me a couple of times but was easy to fix.
