All I can add to this is to say when we had our Lunar (brand new van) The first tine out the kitchen sink would not drain away ay any more than a dribble. The same with the bathroom sink. The only way we could clear it was with a plunger. Forcing it down the pipe. As I said previously, dealer fitted a vent to the tank and no further problems.
It may just be worth checking the waste hose from the sink, as they do not normally use a conventional U joint under the sink and sometimes they tend put a coil in the tube to do the same job. If the top of the coil is higher than the sink plug hole, that will also stop it draining.

More good thinking Dennis, and thanks for that. But what about my poor old back . . . more grovelling under the sink!
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.
I spoke to my dealer about this recall and he tells me Autotrail have denied there is such a recall. Can anyone let me have more details, esp. a recall number or suchlike?
Many thanks.

You could try phoning Perthshire Caravans who are doing mine and see if they'll tell you. Failing that I'll try and get the info from the mechanic when I collect it

We had the same problem with our Miami but I just got underneath and re-positioned the waste pipe so that it ran downhill at a better angle into the tank. It is very easy to do.
