Broke Swivel Stik end in black tank. Oops.
Little background; we're going full time in July and just bought our first fifth wheel. Never really been in one before, except the one we bought so we're complete novices. We'll we got it home an...

The piece lost is made of plastic about 6 inches long. Not flexible.
Inspection camera is a great idea. Looked into it and Home Depot wanted $136 for 4 hours use. Found cameras that you can use with your laptop on Amazon for $20 - $40. Might actually go that route.
Flushed the black tank 15 times and I do have a clear elbow. Didn't come out. This thing is pretty big and long and I can see a 90 elbow that I know it won't make it past. Only flushed so many times because stuff (other than the sprayer) kept coming out. ; )
Wish I could just reach down and grab it. No straight shot to the tank.
We're complete novices to any type of trailer / camper etc. We tent camp and the closest we're come to any type of camper is we slept in the back of our pickup a few times. Don't think that counts. ; )
Not sure how the plumbing goes as the bottom is covered. Might just have to pull the underbelly apart and see how the whole thing links together.
RDS33, now that's an idea I might just have to do. Cut the elbow where I think it'll probably get stuck and then repair it. Just didn't want to have to resort to that.
Thank you for all your ideas. I really appreciate it. And keep them coming...
So I'm going to use a combination of all your collective knowledge. Going to get a cheap camera from Amazon and see if I can spot it. If I see it, I can measure the length of the fish tape that went in then I know how far it has gone. If it's too deep to reach from the head, I'll remove the underbelly and measure again so I know exactly where it's lodged itself. Then I can cut and repair the pipes. They are just PVC sewer pipes and it shouldn't be too hard to fix.
Sounds like a good plan? Maybe someone can add something to it?
Thanks again for all your replies. Glad I joined this forum.
