Hi,On the road boon docking right now. Emptied black tank before leaving. Indicator is working correctly, but there appears to be a large clump of paper visible when you look down into the toilet. Since we're on the road - is there anything I can do? Would pouring some boiling water into the toilet help? We're inside of an even and don't have dumpling facilities. Thanks

Yes, water will help dissolve the paper.

A bag of crushed ice, followed by lots of water with a cup of Dawn dish soap and a cup of Calgon water softener. Drive a couple of hours and dump.

Thanks - but is there anything I can do while I'm parked? We have everything set up at the dog show, including crates, etc.

There is a great youtube video on this. Crushed ice would seem logical bhouth in the video it did nothing. Conclusion is to install a flush sprinkler inside when you get home. Also if you can convince your kids to use less TP that will help. No chemicals please. Money down the drain. And it kills enzyme process whereever you dump

Since you are parked, probably nothing you can do if you are not on city water and can dump immediately. All you can do for the moment is keep the clump wet so ti doesn't turn into a clump of cement. First chance you get flush the tank with a tank wand or your black tank flusher if you have one.

should I go in and try to break it up with a stick? Maybe that will help?

Do like I had to do and use an old broom handle and knock it down, slosh it away from the poop hole.

Dump a pail of water down there to dislodge and flush it away.

Just use it until ya can dump .Use will fill with water and soften the clump . Ice only helps if you are underway . Always use lots of water !!!

Yes....hot water, and I guess you can reach in and break it up with a broom handle....all this will help some.

Best advice is try to not use wads of TP and do use lots of water.
The ice thing is is myth. Use ice in your beverages not so much in your toilet.

aside: what breed of dogs are you showing?
