Gurgling plumbing

I used to get a warning when the grey tank was approaching full by hearing gurgling when water runs down the sink. I hear more gurgling now at less than full. Should I degrease the pipes? How would I do that? Just dump boiling water from a kettle into the sink/shower perhaps?

Sounds like it might be a clogged vent pipe to me. I'd start troubleshooting on the roof.

That was my first thought when I read the thread starter. I'm a licensed plumber & electrician.

If your coach uses air admittance valves, check those. These will be under the sink and will run vertically. They are used in place of direct connections to a vent stack.
