Hello everyone, first post so please be gentle.
So the shower next to the bedroom is not draining on our 40V13 fifth wheel/toyhauler. We just moved into it full time 4 days ago. We noticed almost immediately that the shower drain was not draining at all. We first used baking soda and vinegar to hopefully break up a clogged drain but this was ineffective. I got under the shower to the drain and took apart the one way p valve to see if this was the issue. The P valve was clean, working well when tested, and able to open and close without issue. However just distal to that pipe was a LOT of water that appeared to be backed up. I re-ran the baking soda-vinegar solution without success.
I noticed our grey water sensor was full and therefore emptied both grey tanks. The tanks were able to drain without issue, there was approximately 5 gallons that emptied from both tanks and they ran out without issue. i got on the roof to make sure our vent pipes were open and not clogged and they seemed to be just fine. Grey tank sensor 1 still reads full despite emptying both tanks (and both black tanks).
I am at a loss for troubleshooting at this point, IDK if there is a shower shut off valve that I have not seen or if there is some common issue that you can help me with.
Thank you for your time.
