I dont know how yours is, but in mine, the toilet sits directly over the black tank. I can open the toilet and see the bottom of the tank. If your is like this then you can break it up manually.
This isn't always the case with different brands of RVs. My old RV had an elbow below the toilet going into the tank. No way I could manually break up the pile. If the OP can do this then that would be very helpful.
Back in '03 I purchased a 2 year old 5ver and the previous owners didn't understand how to use their black tank valves either. I tried the ice, but don't think it did much good. Over the 12 years that I owned the unit I always put some liquid Calgon into the water I used prior to heading out for a camping trip. I put the deodorizer in and then dumped about 2-3 gallons of water (with the Calgon) into the tank. I think that this eventually dissolved the "Great Pyramid" in my black tank.
