So I was getting ready for a fun weekend trail riding in Gettysburg so I emptied my gray water tank before I hit the road. By Friday night though only after 2 showers the shower was not draining even after sitting in the bottom of the shower pan all night. I thought there is no way the gray tank is filled up, it is a 30 gallon gray tank. But I dumped what I had in the gray tank any how. So Saturday night rolls around and after one shower it backing up in the shower pan again. Now I am thinking there is no way that the gray tank is full. The trailer was sitting nice and level so I could not figure out what was wrong. So I went underneath the kitchen sink and unscrewed the V200 (air vent) underneath the sink and you could hear this big rush of air and I think I even heard the tank go "thunk" and afterwards the shower drained fine with no problem, so I think I had a serious air lock problem. I have had this problem before in my kitchen at home which made me think of it. Just wanted to post this incase anyone else has the same problem.
