Clogged toilet Eagle 5th wheel

We have a 2019 5th wheel with 1.5 baths. The master bath is the furthest away from the drain. The toilet many times gets clogged. We imagine the route across the camper to the other side has more turns than usual. We have snaked, plunged and even got a professional plumber to unclog it. We try to use it for just non-solid waste and we’re careful about the volume of TP. We seem to avoid a clog by using it minimally, but it is not convenient to do all of that. We do not leave the drain valve open where solids would build up and we use the recommended additives to dissolve solids. Any wisdom out there? Thank you.

More fiber in your diet? Lol. Seriously though, have you tried more water when you flush? If it’s getting clogged with very minimal solids (tp only), you may have some snags along your connections. Might be worth using a camera system to take a look. Should be covered under warranty.

X2 on the camera route. May sound disgusting but it will give you a very good visual of what you are up against...

Are you adding a lot of water before first using? If not, do so. Very important. Also, I assume you are using the correct toilet paper?

I've never had a clog, but we fill the black tank half full of water before using. It will still go over a week before needing dumping.

Here's another little tidbit I found out. And I don't know if it's just a quirk of my unit, but the last couple of times I have dumped I had the wife step on the flusher to hold the hole wide open, and my drain hose gushed like never before. I know these tanks are vented, but it makes a big difference in how fast it drains. Sounds strange, I know. You may want to try it.

there must be as much water in the bowl as the bowl at home to poo. No need for water to pee.
