Thanks for all the responses...
The most "awakening" one was the fact that I'm probably hitting the bottom of the black tank that gets it's volume from being wide and long but not very deep. For some reason I was seeing a hugely deep tank that would have really been about a foot below the ground the trailer was sat on.
RoyB's picture was most enlightening and will prevent me from trying to forcibly remove that piece of plastic.
I now have to determine why, when we don't poop in the trailer, the paper is blocking up. Fortunately, I have one of those "snake cameras" that I bought for an issue in my home that I will use to further advantage tomorrow...

I think we use enough water but since I don't use paper and it's the two females that do I really can't comment though I have to say they've, seemingly, been using enough for the last couple of years and must be getting a bit lazy... Durned Gals, eh?
Well the paper likely comes the ladies of the house, as they tend to wipe after peeing. They need to add some water to the tank before opening the valve to float that away.
No reason not to Poop in the RV toilet, just fill the bowl with water before opening the valve. It also doesn't hurt to pre-fill the bowl a bit before doing a #2.
