Shower will not drain

The shower will not drain in my 2016 CS-S unless I open the gray water drain. It is like there is no vent in the gray tank. Any answers? thanks Art

If your gray water tank isn't full than it is probably a clogged or obstructed gray water vent pipe.  Try draining the gray water tank and see if that helps.

Thanks Mike but I have drained it & if I keep the drain open all is well. Do you know where the vent tube might be for the gray tank, Thanks Art

The only bathroom vent is on the driver's side of the T@B. It is a flat, sort of shell shaped vent on the side outside the bathroom.

In my T@B (seems to be a needed qualifier), this vent also services the sink drain. I was trying to find the fresh water tank vent and that's how I know lol.

My trailer is in storage so I can't look at the vent and see what access is available.  If there would be a means of getting a good shot of air through the vent and freeing any obstruction that would be the path I would be taking.  

I sent a note on to the factory asking for their input so I will share any information that is sent my way.  

Thanks

Thanks Mike I will shoot some air in that outside vent. Art

Knowing that little scupper was in fact a vent during my upgrading process when I removed cap I decided to place screen over top of pipe to keep anything like mud dabbers from going in and clogging that vent pipe. Just my 2cents

Thanks Tony. We have plenty of mud dabbers here but I spray Raid in all holes but they did not at the dealer so I will install screen also. Thanks Art

Art, here is the reply I received back from Ed Kauffman at the factory:

The vent is probably clogged by a wasp nest or something.  The plumbing is on the drivers sidewall right above the front handle cover should have a white hood over it with a hole out the bottom.  Have him check it out, he may have to take off the hood cover and check pipe itself.  This is the only thing that would make sense, I can't think of anything else it could be.
