jayfeather toilet issues Poop sitting on some black baffle

So I'm new to the rv world. I have a 2008 jayfeather 30 ft trailer

When you open the flapper and look down with a flashlight you see a pile of poo about a foot down below the toilet.

It's like it lands on a baffle and sits there.... I want it to drop right into my tanK where it belongs.

I can't figure out how these rv toilets work. All the plumbing is between the floor and the underskirting.

I know it's simple but I feel silly.

I drain the tanks them fill them with a couple of gallons of water them I drop in some treatment.

First couple of times I reached my hand down the toilet and pulled up the poo... that was no fun.

I had the toliet running good... but it would clog again with more poo
  • As someone mentioned - too little water and too much fiber..........

    Get a pail of water and flush the pyramid. I usually put 4-5 gallons of water in the black tank before setting off - this agitates and accumulated waste.

    Upon leaving I throw another 5 gallons into the black tank and any waste gets agitated between leaving the site and the dump station.

    gerry
  • Tequila , I was gonna ask if you meant tooth Brush , I will not ask as that would be too gross !
  • Thankyou, I really enjoyed my breakfast after reaidnding this, LOL. I regularly turn of the water and use a brush to clean the accumulated doo doo off the down pipe. Of course putting in in a pail of chlorine after.
  • Are you leaving the black valve open while you're hooked to the sewer line at the site? If so that's some of the issue. Sounds like you have the dreaded pyramid of poo !
  • You are probably looking at it on the bottom of the tank. Water and the agitation of travel work well. Not traveling and a small amount of water are bad. If parked a lot dump 5 gallons of water in. When you are ready to dump put in even more water.
  • More water for sure, and maybe a little less fibre. '??
  • 4 gallons instead of a couple - and if you're flushing poo, use a good amount of water.
    And no, I don't want to shake your hand :E
