Tried to clear it with a number of full bowl flushes. The second bowlfull caused the dirty water to back up into the bowl.
I made a midnight run to Walmart for a plunger and snake. Plunger took out the water but the pile of toilet paper and crap remained. After an unpleasant half hour of fishing around with a snake and dumping several additional bowls full of water I finally broke up the pile enough to wash away the paper. I'll have to say that the elbow sure SEEMED like a 90 degree turn; yet another Thor design flaw.
Looks like our best options are to flush full bowls each time and make multiple trips to the dump station, or to squeeze a diaper container into the already too small bathroom.
What engineer at Thor thought a 90 degree elbow was a good idea???

Nope, not a very good design, having the black tank on the opposite side of the coach from your toilet! Our old 34.2 had that problem, we had to use lots and lots of water to get the solids and paper across to the tank.
The new 33.5 has toilet directly over the black tank, so it's bombs away right into the tank. With the two of us, we can go almost a week between dumps. Now the gray tank is a different story, with showers and dishes, I have to dump the gray every other day if dry camping.
I'll never buy another rig again with the toilet opposite the black tank!!
