Some more information might help the helpers help you. How old is your camper? Buy it new? How long has the drain been slow? Any other drains running slow? Any gurgling or other noises while draining?

Yea, you re right. It's a 2011, and just started a couple days ago. No other drains are affected. Can't see anything immediately under the drain. ..

Having raised two girls with long hair, and having the genetics one twist from an ape, I have to clean our drains regularly. I unscrew the stopper and use long tweezers that I bought at HF, or a pair of needle nose pliers. If that's not the issue you may have an anti siphon valve that's stuck or a clogged trap. DO NOT use drain cleaner.

Shower drain

You probably have a HepVo valve drain and not a p-trap. they have a rubber membrane bladder in it that lets water drain thru but does not let odors come back up. Stuff can get clogged in it fairly easy - but the conventional p-trap fixes will damage the bladder or tear it out. They use those because they fit in tight spaces better and most likely cheaper than traditional piped P-trap. Don't go poking around down the drain or you might damage it. Google HepVo valve to see what they look like. I never heard of these things until I saw discussion on another forum. Search for "shower drain" on the montana owners forum...several threads will come up.
