I am going to try to text you -- but my answer is to use a long flexible thin piece of plastic (like a cable tie) to break up the blockage. That has worked for me -- hope it helps!

Just like your drains at home, I'm guessing that hair was clogging the trap ��.
BTW, I'm not a teacher or a grammarian but I'm compelled to mention that basic capitalization and punctuation (and probably spelling) make a post MUCH easier to understand ��. Not judging just sayin' ��

RipVan, reading between the lines it looks like the OP was posting via text from a campground. Speaking just for myself, I find that texting makes it much harder to insert proper punctuation, etc. (Unless I am dictating, which is not always available with weak cell signals.)

Yessir, profidant139 nailed it, at campground hot, tired, after 8 trips to dump spare tank trying to get shower to empty. I am not a phone text typer on a good day and an not too concerned about annoying things like punctuation, grammar, etc. I apologize to any "offended" by my lack of concern over those things. I did find a small plastic snake that had a crank handle attachment that winds thru the small pipes rather easily and it is not a permanent bathroom fixture. Nothing can throw sand on a great camping trip like a necessity item failure with equipment, camper or unknown problems.

I can certainly sympathize with your situation. Those kinds of issues do have the tendency to spoil what should otherwise be an enjoyable activity. I'm glad that the situation has been resolved and you've found a relatively easy solution should it occur in the future.
I wasn't "offended" but over the past few years I'm finding it disturbing that our mobile devices and their apps have been essentially degrading language to a point that can and most certainly has, resulted in miscommunication! Grammar, punctuation and spelling are essential to clear communication and shouldn't be considered as "annoying". As I mentioned, I'm not a grammarian and I'm sure (just ask my wife) that I've misspelled words, used improper punctuation and/or been grammatically incorrect on more than a few occasions. I do try to be correct and clear in my communication. Everyone else should too! Just sayin'.
