Many times when I owned our camp we used our wacker honey wagon to suck out contents of waste tanks through the toilet , a roof vent or sink after trap.apapted down to a 1" hose We also used it this way to break up the dreaded Poop pyramid. What the vacuum pump sucked out and cleared the blockage was always young girls clothing.
as both dump valves are stuck with the unit unused for a long time, it looks to me to be a dryed out waste issue that may release given some time.
Marry christmas to all!
