black water tank -- I see toilet paper

We just got back from a 10 day Yellowstone/Grand Teton camping trip that was great! Let me start by saying our toilet seems to operate. Except:

1. Gauge does not seem accurate
2. I noticed that when I flush, I can see toilet paper not too far down "the pipe".

I tried flushing more and using the external water flush while emptying at the dump station. I still see it. Since coming home, I have tried spraying down the toilet with my garden hose and the toilet paper stays put...

What should I do? Should I try pushing the toilet paper down with a rod, or will I damage something?

I have also put in a treatment solution during the camping trip, but I doubt it had much time to really work since we moved campsites every 2-3 days. Any tips would be appreciated!
