Unusual discharge from grey water tank
I just purchased a camper at a consignment auction. The previous owner did not provide the auction company with any information about the camper so I have no history. I got it home and checked it out ...

The problem occurred when I went to dump the grey water tank, when I pulled the dump slide just a trickle of water came out. I removed the drain hose from the camper and shoved a septic snake into the drain. When the water started to flow I pulled the snake out and there was a big glob of a white colored translucent goo all over the end of the snake. It looks like a partially decomposed white plastic trash bag and there was enough of it to fill 1/2 of the 2.5 gallon wash bucket I had under the tank drain.
Considering the OP's description that whatever it was, they described it as "goo" and "looks like a partially decomposed white plastic trash bag" I'm very highly sceptical that it could be grease.
If they had just added a bunch of water into the tank it would have been at least cool if not cold water, grease would be the consistency of candle wax.
I suspect it's more likely that in 'cleaning out' the camper the previous owners emptied bottles of shampoo or other stuff into the sink where it formed into the 'goo' the OP found.
