Hi everybody! I'm a newbie and have a question. I bought an older used travel trailer, good condition. A 1977 skyline. My problem is the shower has started to drain very slowly with showers and when I turn the kitchen sink on the tub fills up. I don't know where to start with this. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
 
(1)your tank if full-and backing up-<br />(2) dump the Grey tank,(after that)- plunge the drains to help speed up them draining.<br />to clean the BLACK tank sensors---add 10 Pounds ice down the toilet -after next Dump ride around some---the sloshing of the ice will help clean the BLACK tank. then do another dump.I've done this for more than 30 years always works.

If the "ahem"* methods* above dont work to your satisfaction, check the roof plumbing vent. If leaves, dirt, a stray plastic bag, confused bird or other object is blocking it or partially blocking it, it wont let air flow, slowing the drains consitterably. If you use a "snake" on the drains, be very carefull to not shove hard, as rv plumbing is not as study as house plumbing.
Good luck getting movement..........

What?
(couldnt help it...it just slipped out.....)

Lol, thanks everyone for the help. I'm having trouble finding the tanks tho. I'm sure that sounds stupid but where should I look? (I warned that I was new at this!)
