   Dippered all the water in the toilet out into a tub. 
Put the outside sewer hose back on - as we don't have a kiddy pool at the ready. 

Then hooked up the: RV Flexible Swivel Stick - Holding Tank Rinser with Shut-off Valve - Flexible 55 1/2 reach for offset basement holding tanks - rotary cleaning action. It has a thing at the end that rotates and has water holes on both sides that make it spin. 

My job was to be water master - on and off at command of DH inside. It didn't take very long after I turned the water on for me to start hearing what sounded like liquid moving through the sewer hose.

Actually thought I was hearing things - but was looking at it hard and saw it start to wiggle and the sound got louder. 

Within minutes, the problem was resolved. And Nick says to tell everyone thank you and that the RV swivel doohickey is a "must have" for everyone. (Swivel doohickey my words - must have for everyone his words) 

Thank you so very very very much for all the suggestions and encouragement - it helps immensely to just not feel all alone when issues arise!

	Dippered all the water in the toilet out into a tub. Put the the sewer hose back on - as we don't have a kiddy pool at the ready. Then hooked up the: RV Flexible Swivel Stick - Holding Tank Rinser with Shut-off Valve - Flexible 55 1/2 reach for offset basement holding tanks - rotary cleaning action. Nick was inside with it and I was outside to run the water on command. Turned on the water and within a minute or two thought I was hearing liquid in the sewer hose. Then saw the sewer hose start to wiggle and we had confirmed movement. FINALLY!!!!! Problem is fixed. Nick says the RV swivel thingy is a must have for every one. It is pretty cool in our book. Thank you everyone for all the advice and encouragement. It helps immensely to not feel alone with it all!

	Good, I use my wand all the time, once I have returned home. I got a large tote which I put holes in the catch waste and make clean up easier. I also use my back flush at every dump.

	There is a solution called "RV digester" that RV techs use. It's enzymatic and breaks up solid waste clogs. The drawback is that it needs to set overnight or longer. I've seen this product at ACE hardware stores but luckily haven't had to purchase any.
	Enjoy Life!!

	Sorry for the late response - the forum wouldn't let me post. Said I had posted too much and was a spammer. Dippered all the water in the toilet out into a tub. Put the the sewer hose back on - as we don't have a kiddy pool at the ready. Then hooked up the: RV Flexible Swivel Stick - Holding Tank Rinser with Shut-off Valve - Flexible 55 1/2 reach for offset basement holding tanks - rotary cleaning action. For whatever reason - this thing really worked. Within a couple minutes I could hear liquid moving through the sewer hose and then saw it start to wiggle as more moved through it. Success! Nick says everyone needs to have one of these things - it really worked well. Thank you all for your encouragement and ideas. It helps a lot to not feel all alone in the struggle!

	Now that you are working again, I suggest that next time you dump you fill the black tank about half way with clean water. Maybe go ahead and add one of those enzyme packs, which you ought to do every time you first use the black tank after a flush. Then drive a hundred or so miles, or all the way home with that fresh water sloshing around in the tank. That should help dissolve any remaining caked on crud in the tank. Find a place to dump while things are still suspended in the slurry. TT
