The only way I got it to drain fully was by pumping water up the drain pipe by shutting the macerater pump off but leaving the water hose running through the pump. Nearest I can guess is something blocked the drain the first time. Perhaps toilet tissue or something, and backfilling it would have broke it loose.
Yours could have done similar and driving home sloshed the contents around enough to clear the drain.

I am sure that driving is part of it, but I drove to the facility so it had sloshing then. One theory could be the level of the tank at facility versus at home? Maybe the angle did not allow all of the solids to drain when it is was 100% flat but at driveway with a gradual slope for rains and coach not level it allow more from the tank to come out? I may refill the black tank through sani flush, drive back to facility and drain again. Close it off and drive home to see it I can get 2- 3 gallons of water to come out of black tank.
