Well, after fixing the clog my wife noticed it was starting to bubble again. Note to self: Fill the boll and flush it a few times after clearing it to make sure that it's really clear...
We got to our next camp site today and couldn't find a spot with hookups, so I was hesitant to put more water into it. Long story short, it wasn't as bad so we tried boiling water again (didn't help), tried a different auger (helped some, but not completely) and finally gave up and sprayed it for about 45 seconds with that flex wand.
Boom, bubbling gone.
Crossing our fingers that we really got it this time! We're going to use our camp sites honey wagon service too, and hopefully the suction will clear out anything still stuck in there.
Any of you guys have good suggestions for TP? We had been using RV & Marine TP for 5 months and never had a problem. DW didn't like it (dissolved in her hands so I can't blame her), so we switched to the Kirkland 2-ply paper and it clogged in about 2 weeks.
Now she's doing the old throw-it-in-a-trash-can fix, but I'd love to find some that dissolves better so she doesn't have to do that.
