Hi does anyone have a slow draining kitchen sink. The vanity basin and shower drain ok. There doesn't appear to be a blockage. Also there is a yellow glue like stain on the vanity basin was there when purchased any ideas how to remove without damage. Cheers Lin

We've just bought an Autotrail Tracker and have the same problem with all the drains. It seems there's a recall on them wher they have to modify the pipe junction in the rear locker to give a better fall. Why they couldn't have done it before we picked it up though is beyond me.

Have a look under the van, We had the same problem and I found that one of the pipes had been taken through the wrong way on the chassis. Disconnected it and re-routed it. Now no problem.

(Edit) Where's my Christmas spirit? I've got one you can have for nothing Lin.
Our old van was pretty dire, but the new (2007) model seems worse. I might set about fixing it one day, but so long as I can evade most of the washing up I shall continue to convince the boss that nothing can be done about it. Am I a rat, or what.
Cheers

I had the problem with my last two caravans and the only resolution was to change all the pipework with a larger hard pipe.
My Tracker is just the same!
My resolution this time is to be a little more patient as it drains. This way I don't have to spent a lot of time with my head stuck in the cupboards and underneath the MH!

Hi
How old is the van? If it is a new (2007) then the bore of the pipe is much smaller than the old vans. OR. Does the water run away any quicker with the waste tank drain valve open? I am thinking of a possible air build up/block. When we had a Lunar we had the same problem and the dealer fitted a vent pipe in the top of the tank. That worked.

Good thinking Dennis, but I wouldn't expect a problem when draining only half a sinkful into an empty tank. Plenty of room for it in the tank to compress the air slightly without building up excess pressure.
I could be quite wrong though. Did you have the same problem as this? I'd be grateful (and so would others I bet) if you would give a few more details, as it is a constant irritation and a tank vent would be a quick and simple fix.
I would have thought that the waste tank would vent through the waste pipes via the sink/basin plug holes. Surely the water draining could not create enough instant pressure to affect the drain speed.
