remove "flushable" wipes from black tank?
Just returned from another great trip dry camping in the '05 Yellowstone (class C Ford E450 chassis, 27'). We took my mom, who had 'elk rut at RMNP' on her bucket list, so 4 adult women using the toilet for 5 days.
While we stopped off for RV paper en route, apparently I didn't explain clearly enough that "flushable" is a marketing term...so now I have sensors showing full on a black tank I've drained. Twice.
I suspect that the plastic sheeting ("flushable" wipes) introduced into the tank are the problem.
Any ideas as to HOW in the heck I can get this tank back to providing data on levels?
I thought about letting it freeze and throwing in 5 gallons of hot water, but I'm in a bit of a hurry. SWMBO is planning to caravan--with our newly licensed 16 yo at the wheel of the smart car--to a 3 week tournament later this month. If that tank overflows I will never hear (or smell) the end of this!
TIA for any ideas from bitter, stinky experience. I prefer to learn from others when I can.
