Would one of these solve the whole problem you experienced?

Because I believe my black tank is out to get me, I'm thinking of getting one 'just in case'.

I live in a city and have a drain clean out in my front yard.when I need to dump my tanks at home I use that gos in to city sewers. Also when I clean fresh water tank I'll use the pump and the toilet to move that water to black tank to clean it

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.

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!

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!!

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.
