Tim and Peggy Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Good morning, I have thrown in the proverbial towel (not into the sink or toilet). But now I have a new curiosity. When we empty anything, or any amount of water into the kitchen sink the "gurgle" is load and annoying. I have the valve closed in an effort to fill the tank and try (again) to clean the sensors. But It is counter-intuitive when we empty the sink, dishwasher or washing machine that we hear this damn gurgle. Is it symptomatic of a blockage? IT IS ANNOYING. I presume and think I know that we cannot snake the lines in our beautiful, expensive motor homes, but how does one "clean the lines?" Obviously when I (and many of you) would have any issue, we would call the plumber and snake the lines and if it were a real blockage we would jet the lines to clean them out. The good news is (I guess) that when I open the gray valve the tank empty's but how do I know, the damn sensors don't read properly? There I go again, it all goes back to the sensors. Oops! Ideas, thoughts? Guess I have too much time on my hand if I am going to obsess about this? Stay safe and thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl&Rita Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Sounds like no air behind the water, and the water is pulling air through the traps. Check your Air Admittance Valve.

Ranger Smith Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Sounds like one of the vent diaphragms is stuck causing the venting not to work and it trying to suck air causing the gurgling Quote Steve and Joy Amateur Radio Operator WZ1T . . .

Check your Air Admittance Valve. You can get a new one from Home Depot, Lowe's, most hardware stores, or Amazon. They are commonly called a plumbing vent.

TXiceman Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 We have the See Level in our trailer and they work pretty well. I have had them mess up a couple of time in 7 years full time use, but it will clear with a good flush or rinse.
