My 2008 40X is having a slow draining issue in the shower.... I have drained the Grey water tank so I know that isn't it.
I see that there is a panel underneath the shower doors. Is there a cleanout catch or something that I should be cleaning out?
We are getting ready to leave for a week in the south. Any Ideas??

Have you considered trying a drain cleaner, maybe has a hair build up or soap residue. I have same unit and have had to do both sinks lately and it helped.

It's the same set-up as in your home. I would pour some enzyme drain cleaner into the drain, let it sit overnight (or even longer), then use a plunger to blast out the clog. This has worked for me. Your drain piping is ABS plastic and, IMO, won't be injured with standard drain cleaners. Hope this easy fix works for you.......

Thanks Guys, I will try that tomorrow!! I was not sure if that would damage anything.

I use baking soda and vinegar . Then followed by boiling water

I'm with Harry. Not so sure how house hold cleaners would effect the flex tubing or the grey water valves.

Home Depot sells a cheap, flat, plastic tool with barbs on spaced about 1/4 inch apart. Its long enough to push down the drain and pull the hair and crud out of the p-trap. worked great for me and it was less than 4 bucks
