In 10 years of RVing we have never had an issue with the black tank not draining. When we get home from a trip we give the black tank a good flushing until it drains clear. After that a check down the toilet drop pipe with a flashlight shows no solids below.
As already mentioned - never leave the black tank valve open when at a full hookup site.
