I have a 2004 Forest River Cardinal 5th wheel and the toilet is completely clogged. The tank is empty and the clog is at the toilet before the black tank. My son opened the black water tank and I'm not sure how long it was open for so by the looks of things everything solidified. It appears that water is slowly draining thru. I obviously need to break this waste up but I'm unsure how. I've read that many 5th wheels don't have straight shot from the toilet to the black tank and some have a bend in the pipe so I don't want to go hammering away at things and end up breaking a pipe or anything.
Before we were clogged the toilet was burping whenever you would flush it and then it completely stopped allowing anything to drain. I've read that this burp is the cause of the vent being blocked but could this just be because everything is blocked or could it be from something else? Would a Toilet snake help loosen this up or are there any tricks? I could get a sharp stick and poke away at things but like I said I don't want to puncture any of the pipes. Any help is GREATLY appreciated as we're heading back to the campground in the morning and we obviously are going to have major issues if we don't have a toilet.
Thanks in advance,
Pete
