Hi All,
When I plumbed my Toilet I have a cut off before the Macerator ,My Son put
a Hand Wipe Towel in the Commode witch stopped the Macerator ,I had to
remove the Macerator and have him remove the Towel, he didn't like that..
I had reminded him several times, to no put the Towels in the Co9mode.

My son whom I dearly love accidently tossed a Clorox wipe down the toilet
and it has lodged itself firmly. This is my first experience with a clog (I
do everything I can to avoid it). I've tried backwashing and reaching up
from the drain out let with a piece of wire to see if I can grab it. What do
you recommend short of dismantling the entire system which the KOA would
probably frown on. Can I get the toilet off and try to reach down from the
top? Is there a snake avaialable at walMart or something?

I knew laughing at Robin Williams was going to get me someday :d

I don't think you can reach the dump area of the holding tank from the
toilet hole. The tank sits about 3 to 4 inches below floor level and the
tank itself is so shallow that I don't see any way you could get you arm
down and turned to reach the dump tube area. Your best bet if you
can't use the old 3 inch dump process is to go to a portable toilet
company or a marina and have your tank sucked dry. Then you can
go to a road side park and do you out side plumbing. See pictures
of a holding tank at

The lower left hole is the toilet hole and the upper left hole is a vent
pipe hole. The toilet hole is about 3 inch diameter. Maybe a little
larger but not much. I think the vent pipe hole is 1 1/2 inch in diameter.
You can gust barely see the dump hole. When I took these pictures
I had a plug in the dump hole. Good luck. Keep[ in mind if you end
up needing to get your hands in it, It will wash off.
