Re: Shower clog or something else?

That is your Water barrier to keep gas/odors from coming back up. Doug So that is exactly the situation I have. But I guess my concern is that normally when I open all the valves to drain all the tanks, especially in fall when I winterize, I don't ever recall seeing this water down in the drain. Everything is functioning properly the way it should, so for now I won't worry about it.862Views0likes0CommentsShower clog or something else?
I have an interesting problem that I have never seen before. During our last outing, I noticed there was standing water in the shower drain after the first shower was taken in the rig. I found it hard to believe that the grey water tank needed dumping already. So I opened all the valves to the tanks to drain all the water/wastewater. Still had standing water in the drain. I poured a bucket of hot water down, thinking maybe there was a clog and it would rinse it out. Interestingly enough, the water drained fast, but yet there was still standing water in the drain. We took another shower, and there was never any problem with a slow drain (the water drained fine and never backed up), but always standing water inside the drain. Brought the rig home and drained out everything - grey, black, fresh, low-point drains, etc. Still standing water in drain. Used the vinegar & baking soda solution but it didn't help. Tried flushing it with the garden hose - nothing. Tried using that plastic hair drain tool - nothing. I am stumped as to why I can get all the water flushed out of the shower pipes. After looking at the piping, it looks like there is no p-trap for the shower drain. Anyone have any suggestions as to what my problem is and how I can fix it?4.3KViews0likes14CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012

Some people think the hose in the steel bumper wears it out causing leaks in the hose. Mine fits in my bumper WITH the fittings.

Thanks! akdale - yeah, it's no problem with the Hemi! I could have gone a little bigger with the TT, but this is my first experience pulling a trailer, so I will break myself in with this one. kbc - I should have thought to shoot some inside pics; will do that ASAP!366Views0likes0CommentsRe: HEY we need a sticky for our TT pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally, here's my "new to me" TT! I know, it needs a bath. The guy I bought it from kept the inside immaculate, but must not have cared a lot for the outside as there are some black streaks on it. I'm still pretty danged proud of it!366Views0likes0Comments
