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

Or perhaps he was just trying to boost his immune system.

I would think your "shelf/ledge" is the bottom of the tank. The answer is water. Lots of it before, during and after.

I agree with this post!

Try this easy method of cleaning black tank. Fill black tank 1/2 full or half empty of water, add a 20 lb. bag of cubed ice, put down toilet opening, take trailer on a 20-25 mile ride where you turn left and right,make it slush around the tank knocking the crud loose, flush tank with lots and lots of water. Should do the trick. Down side, you may or may not effect your tank sensors but the things never work right anyway. Good Luck and use chemical treatment and always flush tanks with lots of water.

OP needs to answer the question of whether or not he is leaving the drain valve open, or not using a lot of water.
