Grey tank stopped up won't drain
we have always left our grey and black tank valves open as we are full timers [living at a campground 365/24-7] for past 4yrs. This problem of the grey tank getting stopped up only started last month...

Take the camper somewhere out in a field, open the gray valve and snake the line. Stand off to the side!
Depending on how much grease you’ve dumped down the sink over the years, could be a good layer of grease in the whole tank, like as tall as the drain pipe?
I’d go after the remaining grease probably 1 of 2 ways.
1. Figure out how to get a large quantity of boiling hot water into the tank. Quick drive to slosh it around. Drain in that field again.
2. Couple gallons of something like Zep industrial cleaner/ degreaser dumped into an empty tank. Drive to slosh, drain into a sewer preferably.
