Third day on vacation many years ago.... had the pipe stop up with tissue paper. The tank would drain but not the toilet. Could not unstop it with a plunger.
Used a 5' piece of flexible pipe to try to open it up. It would go through the tissue in the 45 degree pipe through the basement and drain a small amount of liquid into the tank and then stop up again.
RV dealer up in the Smokey Mountains recommended the "Flush King". About $30 at the time. Put it on the tank drain, opened the tank valves and filled the tank with water. That pushed the blockage back up into the toilet. Pulled the valve on the Flush King and everything went down the drain.
You do have to watch the process or you will have a mess on the floor!
I had to do this twice in 14 years with that trailer.
I keep it with my 5th W. any time we travel although we probably no longer need it. Two years ago while repairing a plumbing problem, removed the tank and pipes and found a 12 or 14" #3 phillips Craftsman screw driver at the second bend in the pipe, just above the tank.
As far as using it to flush the tanks, I have once or twice. It keeps you from having to drag a water hose inside. I later added a valve and sprayer in the bathroom to flush the tank without using a separate water hose. Much easier.
