Strange Kitchen Sink Problem

I have a double kitchen sink in my fifth wheel. If I run water in the sink it will not drain. I have let it sit a couple days and I look and the water is gone. If I run water again, it will not drain out. I have tried everything for sink clogs, used a snake and nothing happens or changes.

Has anyone run across this before? The sink is either clogged or it isn't, so why does it suddenly drain all the water out?

I need my sink back! Any ideas?

As a side note, my bathroom sink and shower drain fine.
  • Does trying everything include disassembling the drain pipe?

    How would you know it suddenly drains out unless you sit there and watch it? I must be missing something.

    Maybe your sink roof vent is clogged causing an air lock

    X2.Try running some water down the roof vent to clear any clog.
