Shower Drains Slowly

On our Travel Supreme 5th Wheel 36RKTSO the shower drains really slow. By the end of a shower we are up to our ankles in water.

Pretty sure the shower water goes in the gray tank. I keep the gray water drain open and the sewer drain closed and empty that twice a week.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Yep====get a hose with a nozzle in there, take the drain cover off and put the nozzle in the drain fukk force and flush away. I do this every time we back up a bit (once per year) and it works fine.

Yep.. hair and soap scum. There are brushes that are pretty flexible that should snake through the "P" trap.. Otherwise, I'd suggest going into the basement and removing that trap and do a through cleaning.

I don't have hair any more.. but, I can't believe how much my wife sheds.. and still has a full head of it.. Sometimes life is just NOT FAIR
