Just remove the cover screen and clean the hair out. That's what causes it most of the time.

Give it a few passes and it will pull all the hair out of the trap.

I sounds to me like you have a P-trap full of sand. That is what happened to ours. I had to locate it and clean it out.

Mine was gummed up with liquid soap residue, pulled the grate off and cleaned it up easily.

When I got my coach in '01 I found the tub/shower P-trap nearly completely plugged with wood shavings and sawdust.... (presumably from the factory build).

Plastic snake. I use the gel Drano periodically to keep things moving along.

Removing the shower/tub P-trap in my coach is easy.
If your P-trap is removable I recommend that you take it out and clean.
