Low Tech ......Toilet/Tank Issue
I'm not sure this is the right forum but...
Have a new to us 5ver. All our previous experience was with a small class b with a 6 gallon black tank and lots of driving.
The fifth wheel has a 30 gallon black tank. The toilet has a 1 foot drop through two 45 degree bends to get to the shallow end of the tank. With the toilet valve open I can just see a small crescent into the tank.
Twice now, when camping in one spot for a week or so, the toilet pipe has plugged. I do not believe the tank is full, I believe it's just a result of too much poo, not enough water and not enough movement to slosh stuff around....a poo pyramid if you will.
I assume the solution is to just flush more water down with the solids.
The complication is; we are hyper resource conservative(water/power/propane etc.)/off grid campers and want to maximize our time between dumps.
Is there some Magic Poo Grease? (Great product name huh?:B ) or a process we are missing? Or a poo liquefier in a bottle? (Us being hyper resource conservative also means we're cheap so we probably aren't putting as much chemical in the tank as we should.)
I really don't want to have to use a stick to unplug it again as the s#!^^y end has to come back through the camper!
I would appreciate your thoughts and wisdom....no matter how s#!^^y they may be.
