Clogged shower drain in 2013 Palazzo 33.1

Hi,

We seem to have a badly clogged shower drain in our Palazzo 33.1. I have tried hot water, vinegar & baking soda, and plunging, but it still wont drain.
Does anyone know how to access the P trap under the shower pan? I can't find any obvious access point. Are there any other narrow constrictions in this system? (We are connected to hook ups, and the Grey tank is empty!)
Thanks.

Gel type Drano works for me in our coach to keep the lav and shower drains going. Sometimes takes a couple applications.

If the Drano does not work then you will have to SNAKE it with a hand held / hand crank snake that you can buy at Home Depot or Lowe's for about $19.95. We unclog all types of drains with our service and this is how we would do it.

I use Drano to keep my shower running freely. If it is as clogged as you say you may need to let it soak to break the clog, use a snake or compresses air. If you use compressed air make sure your drain is open so you do not create a back pressure and blow "P" water out the kitchen sink.

You can see the bottom of the grey tank from the water tank compartment but you can't see the shower drain.

You should be able to see the shower drain for the right wheel well. You should see about a 6 inch long by 4 inch wide black plate unscrew it and that's the bottom of the shower
