Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Our kitchen sink is draining slowly.  We've used a Zip It, but that hasn't helped much.  Any suggestions for a drain cleaner that is safe for the pipes?

I use a mini snake gently.

A mini snake might do it, but you might have to remove the p-trap and clean it and run the Zip It or mini snake down the main drain pipe. The p-trap is the S-shaped piece of pipe under the sink, which is normally hand tightened for easy removal for just these situations.

 Agreed! Bill Nailed it!
