Black AND gray tanks wont dump!

Hello all.
In the middle of a 2 week trip from Orlando, Savannah, Gatlinburg, Oconee NF, Savannah, Orlando. All going fairly well so far.
Except...
Stayed in Oconee NF for the last 5 nigts. No dump at site, just at exit. No problem, as we have 2 large gray and 1 large black tank. Went to leave this morning and stopped by the exit to dump. Rear gray dumped fine. Forward gray and black no joy. Nothing at all! Handles seemed to move normally. Tried cycling handles in and out many times. Again, all felt normal. Even tried flushing a bit the black tank. Didnt do much because it indicated full. Gray indicated 1/2 btw.
I even tried tapping the line above and below the barrier. Nothing. A line was growing behind me so I had to go.
Called Keystone tech and although they were very courteous, they were zero help. Just told me it didnt make sense as it sounded like both forward valve nuts may have came loose at the same time?!
I was hoping that movement on the road would jar something free. As luck would have it, it did! When I got to Savannah, I tried to dump and it worked perfect! Handles feel the same still.
Anyone know how these things are plumbed? I assume valves for each are seperTe after the tanks, then into a Y to a single outlet outside. But nothing makes sense as to why it would get stuck together. If it was sediment lodged in the black tank tube, why would the gray not work? Maybe a clog after the black valve??? Which makes zero sense to me.
It worked perfect 6 days before. I drained black, flushed 3 times till clear, then gray tanks.
Wondering if I need to take this in, or just chalk it up as a clog??
Anyone experience this?
