Hi There,

Every day is a learning experience. Made the mistake of trusting a package of wet wipes saving they were septic tank friendly, but not RV. I think they contributed to our partially blocked black tank opening. We used to put a chemical in the black tank, but for several weeks we were land locked for repairs.

Does anyone know of a way they have unblocked their black tank? Any shortcuts would be appreciated. We have a chemical now, but the tank is at least half full and slowly allowing waste into the hose. Would filling the black water tank help, either through the toilet or the outside valve used to fill it for cleansing? Would using a long stick through the toilet help to loosen the clog?

Sincerely,
Robert and CJ
