If your RV kitchen sink won't drain, you're not alone. Many RVers face this problem, and the good news is that there are a number of simple solutions. These tips are based on a general knowledge of home plumbing, as well as an understanding of the complexities of RV plumbing. Listed below are some solutions to the problem that you can try immediately. Read on to find out how to solve it!

The first step in fixing the issue is to inspect the valve beneath the sink. Make sure the valve is in the off position. If that doesn't work, call the campground and ask them for advice. Often, the valve is faulty or has become dirty. You can also clean out the clog with a special cleaner. Another easy solution is to replace the valve that controls the water supply. If this does not solve the problem, you can either purchase a new valve or call the campground office.

Another possible cause is dirty probe sensors. These sensors are notorious for giving false readings, and a dirty probe can cause them to malfunction. Use a cleaning solution to remove any gunk that has collected on the probes. Once you've done that, the sink will drain properly. If the issue persists, call a plumber to repair it. Hopefully, you'll soon get a working sink again!

When you're camping, you may notice clogged drains. If your RV doesn't have a garbage disposal, chances are you're putting large items down the drain without removing them. If this happens, it's best to get a plumber's snake. However, if you don't have a plumber's snake, a hand snake will do the trick.

Then, you may want to consider using baking soda to unclog the clog. Pour a teaspoon of baking soda into the sink and push it down with a wooden spoon, rubber spatula, or plastic utensil. The baking soda will act as a lubricant for the clog in your pipe. Once the baking soda is loose, you can pour the remaining white distilled vinegar into the sink. The solution should fizz and clear the drain, but you may have to wait 15 minutes before flushing out the entire mess.

Despite these tips, your RV sink might still be clogged. Some blockages are too severe for DIY solutions. Whether you have a clogged large kitchen sink or a smelly sink, it's important to get professional help as RV plumbing is likely to harbor bacteria, fungus, and mold. Therefore, it's best to get professional help if the smell persists. This can lead to serious health problems if you have no plumbing knowledge.

If the problem persists, try to remove the stopper from the kitchen sink using a plunger. This method will force standing water to drain, but it's important to use gloves and a bucket to catch the water. If the muck doesn't come out, try pouring boiling water down the drain. A boiled kettle will help you heat water anywhere, but use caution. It may break under pressure, and use caution while using it.
