kitchen P-Trap clogged on 2000LXI
Ron,
Sorry to hear about your plugged line. I have had exceptionally good luck
freeing up clogged lines with a device made by and sold as a Drain King. It goes
on your garden hose and then inserts into the clogged line. You then turn the
hose on (gently, at least at first, don't want to burst any lines) and the gizmo
swells up to fill the pipe, then starts squirting water down the line under
pressure. You can even use a RV pressure reducer if you really want to play it
safe. It has worked like a champ for me every time I have used it. I have even
put it on a hot water line to help rinse out grease clogs. Just use a little
common sense when first turning the hose on and I bet you'll have a cleared line
in no time. Best of luck, Doug Engel, Gunnsion, CO,1981 FC35SB, "Pokey"

Thanks again! I keep resolving to check the diagrams, etc. available
in the Bird Box but I'm inflicted with the past 50 syndrome. Ha!
Someone suggest just that and sure enough I found out that there's no
trap. Just 2" PVC and several elbows. Looks like there's a clean-
out too but at this point I'm not exactly sure how to get to it. I'm
gonna check with Jessie Gibson at BB when they reopen after New
Years. Meanwhile, pulled the slide in today and did a little more
reaming with the tape; also put in some more Drano Max from the roof
vent. Wait and see from here on out. Will also try the hair dryer
trick and maybe gently run the tape in from the roof vent. Not an
emergency as we're using paper plates and plastic and secretly I
think the wife is OK with that. Ha!

Happy New Years fellow Birders!

will soften the clog. Then wash out with boiling hot "Dawn" soapy
water.

tank. You may be able to disconnect at the holding tank and get at
the obstruction by going up the drain line. Be careful not to get
splashed with Drano.
