    Shower Drain Very Slow To Drain

    I have a 2019 Salem Grand Villa 42 DL. In the past couple of weeks the shower drain has been very slow to drain. I have used a snake, enzyme drain cleaner and baking soda and vinegar to try and fix the problem. Nothing has worked. I was told it could be a clogged vent. My question is, if that is...

    Oil Drain Valve

    I know this has been posted in the past, but I just installed a Futomo Oil Drain valve and it works so well that I thought I'd mention for members that may not have seen the previous posts. I try to do all of my own maintenance, I just don't trust anyone to do things properly and I inspect the...

    2021 Isata 3 gray water drain

    Just came back from a trip and went to drain the tanks. When I took the cap off I was greeted with a rush of pink water. This would have been from the gray tank since I hadn’t drained it since unwinterizing. The valve seems spongy when I push the handle to shut it as opposed to a definite...

    Shower Drain

    I took delivery of a new Isata 3 last February in the bitter cold of northern Ohio. I was able to do a very through PDI then except for the water systems. The dealer assured me that they had check the water systems and the re-winterized before I got there. When I took the coach it went...

    Pro 19fd hooked to city sewer not draining

    Problem is it isn't draining. It's downslope all they way and gravity should do the work. Do I need to look into an external macerator pump

    Modifications to low point fresh water drain.

    Any recommendations on rerouting or adding a shield to the low point drains on a nobo 19.8? They hang low and can easily be damaged by a small rock or obstacle.

    Low point drain cap

    Ok went back to my rig today and inspected the low point drain caps. I am assuming there should be some sort of rubber gasket in these. All I see is plastic. I guess I found my dripping problem [emoji23]

    Low point drain caps dripping

    We took out our trailer for the first time this year. Noticed dripping coming from low water drain caps. Hand tightened even more. Leak stopped and then noticed 3rd morning leaking again. After driving it home noticed once again they were wet. I take it these stupid screw on caps are pretty...

    Fresh Water Tank and Low Point Water Drains

    Hi: I recently learned how to sanitize my fresh water tank and know how to drain it, etc. My confusion and now sure how to ask the question is, there are two low point water drains underneath and to the side of the step. I know one is hot and one is cold. But I don't understand the...

    can I drain the hot water out by using the water pump?

    Hi, I know this is not the correct way of doing it, but I don't want to remove the anodized rod and drain the hot water out. I was wondering if I just turn on the water pump and turn on the hot water valve on the sink. will that drain all the hot water out?

    Grey water drain

    I recently purchased a 2008 Lexington 283 GTS motorhome. The grey water drain is real slow to empty the tank. The grey water tank is located just behind the dually wheels (passenger side), and the grey water pipe empties on the driver side outlet. I assume that the grey water pipe is...

    So, three months into ownership of a 2021 Coachmen Pursuit 27XPS. I've discovered what everyone else probably knows. The generic "manuals" suck. Badly. Now the fierce winter of the plains is mostly over, decided to de-winterize my coach. First chance I have had to verify the plumbing is sound...

    shower drain

    My Rockwood a214HW has a 1-1/2 inch shower drain pipe. I often use a portable holding tank which is great for short term use and very heavy. When I stay at campgrounds with full hook-ups, it would be great to hook up directly to the sewer. Any ideas how to attach the drain to my standard sewer...

    2015 silverback low point drains

    I picked up a used silverback a while ago. I was under the trailer installing a sewer holder and I see what appears to be more low point drains. I know the water tank low point drain is on the other side of the entrance door, a little more than half way down the trailer. I found on the trailer...

    Kitchen sink draining to black water tank

    I own a 2021 Alta 2850KRL and my sink drain goes to my black water tank instead of the grey water tank. Found out the hard way - I just happened to flush the toilet while my wife was draining the sink. The tank was pretty full and the pressure caused by a the sink water going into the black...

    Black Tank drain valve leaks

    I have a used 27' 2018 Coachman Liberty edition. When I remove the cover to the Black And Gray tanks to attach my drain hose, I get deluged with about a pint of liquid before I can get the hose attached.

    2013 3050S E-450 V-10. I went to get mh ready for traveling and found the battery dead and a clicking noise coming from the engine. I put the house batteries in while the truck battery charged, then got the truck running. Noise was gone. It came back later and drained the battery. It sounds like...

    Freeze of low water drain

    I winterized my 2109 according to instructions with antifreeze. Pink came out all faucets, shower, etc. Drained the tanks. I’m having anxieties wondering if there was something I should have done with the low water point on passenger side in front of door? If so, what are the ramifications of...

    Galley drain

    I just purchased a 2016 Palomino 315 RLTSEK. Really like it, but what the heck is a galley drain? All my previous RVs just had grey and black water tanks. Also I couldn't find a lever to open and close it. Help would be much appreciated.
