Monty the motorhome has developed the gurgles (1 Viewer)

Monty the motor home is an 08 Autotrail Cheyenne 630. The water is not draining away out of either sink. Is there an air hole in the waste tank that needs unblocking to let the air out?
Or do you think it is something else

Try a hosepipe up the waste pipe this should clear any blockage, if the ball valve is not turning you should take it off completely its on a knurled connection and try the hosepipe again have a bucket ready and park near the grey grid

Mine only gurgles when the grey tank is full. They also have an overflow pipe fitted.

Daft question as you've not mentioned it, but can you actually drain the grey tank?

Our Navajo blocks occassionaly despite being careful what goes down the waste. I fill sinks/shower with water and use an empty upturned detergent bottle on plug hole of each sink/shower. Squeeze gently and it usually clears after 2 or 3 goes. Unfortunately I find that an accumulation of soapy waste causes occasional blockages.

Caution if you decide to try a plunger, most of the connections are just a push fit. Be awkward if you managed to "break" one in an inaccessible place......

That's why I said squeeze gently, perhaps I should have added something along your comment.

Monty has no trouble going for a wee. Where the problem lies is getting down to his bladder (waste tank) it takes ages, and goes down in series of gulps, eventually.

Have a check round for a waste trap. They're not necessarily in a "conventional" place - after 9 years of ownership I discovered two traps underneath the van, just before the pipework went into the waste tank, one for the sink the other for the bathroom.
