I can't get it off. I even took apart all of the pipes so that I could actually sit under my sink and use both hands and I still can't get it. I'm afraid of breaking something.Re: Fifth wheel sink problemWhen I was up on the roof, I felt like I could hear water in the vent. I'm afraid that if I put any water down the vent, that it will just overflow. From what I can see with a flashlight, it looks like just a straight shot down. There is nothing in there.Re: Fifth wheel sink problemAnd, before anyone suggests it, yes I know that the galley sink has a separate tank from the bathroom sink. That was the problem the first time it stopped draining.Fifth wheel sink problemHello, all! I have a 39 foot open road pilgrim 5th wheel. My kitchen sink does not drain properly. It does drain, really really really really really really really really really slowly, if there is too much water in the sink. If I just turn the faucet on and turn it off, the water drains fine, but if any amount of water builds up, say if I am doing the dishes, the sink takes forever to drain. The water does not even look like it is moving and there is a column of teeny tiny bubbles that come up out of the drain. Someone please help me, I am at my wits end. I read your other post about someone who had a similar problem and I tried all of the suggested fixes, but none of them have worked. I have opened the tank, I have run hot water down it, I have taken apart the P trap and cleaned it out, and the water is still not moving. I went and checked the vent on the roof and there does not appear to be anything blocking it. If I push air down into it, as soon as I stop, I can feel the air push back and there is a gurgling sound. Someone on the other post had mentioned that severe vacuum lock could cause this problem. If that is the case, how do I fix it?
