[AT] O.T. except for camping at tractor shows

On a side note I read a camper article a while back about
a problem this couple was having with their black tank
smelling really bad. It appears that they had loaned it
to their daughter to use while her house was being built
and hooked the dump direct to the septic tank for a 
couple months. The author said the problem was that the
solids had hung up in the tank and stayed there since
there wasn't enough water flow to wash it out. They 
tried everything to clean it even the stuff made for 
campers and no luck. The author told them to dump about
20 lbs of ice down the toilet and then the cleaner and
about 5 gallons of water. Then take the trailer on a
long drive turning left and right a lot. As you can 
guess this loosened the solids and the ice melted and
they dumped the tank and all was good again. Thought
some might need this info sometime.
