Here's what we do to get around developing the dreaded ^ at the bottom of the chute in our TC. Having experienced it several times, once had to take a stick to it and once was able to shake the camper and it went on down.
Take a dish tub about 12x15x6 and fill it with water then pour it down the throat of the commode. Empty the tub as fast as you can. The volume of water hitting the solids moves it along. We do this every 2 days. Simply flushing extra toilet water down doesn't work nor does pouring it out of a gallon jug.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
This may be a solution.
I did a quick search on amazon and found there’s an “rv plunger.” Basically a stick with a rigid propeller type thing on the end to help move things along. Found it cheaper directly from the mfg. just received it yesterday. So I’ll give that a whirl. Literally.
I may still install a “tornado” type device near where the pyramid is forming. That will definitely help when having city water pressure. I was really hoping a suggestion would appear with a direct stream type black tank flush, that would give some “significant” pressure when hooked up to the rigs water line (to help solve the boondocking issue).
I replaced the faucet valves with the shower style hose end with two washing machine ball valves and connected a washing machine mixer hose, basically a “y” styled hose. I connected a short garden hose (2’) with a black tank flush (camco?) fitting to see what kind of result id get. Not real happy with the pressure or water stream it produced. I didnt install it for the test, just “bench” tested it into the grass.
Hitting the highway in a week, hopefully the “rv plunger” will assist in breaking down the pyramid and get things moving.
I think ill check the vent pipe if i have time before leaving, in order to rule that out as being an issue.
