sprinter 311bhs kitchen sink water issue

[davidcyndi]

We have a 2012 sprinter 311bhs. First trip out since last summer. One issue is the water from kitchen sink trickles out and all the other sinks work fine the shower works fine and the toilet works fine. Why is the kitchen sink water doing this? No water leaking from tube under sink and no water under trailer. It's like it blocked?

It may indeed be blocked. Have you checked to see if the P-trap is full and clogging the pipe? Remove this portion from underneath the sink, inspect it, and remove any "crud".

There may also be a "short" vent located beneath your sink. This "cheater" vent has a screwable cap on it that may have become "stuck" and the sink drainage system is not being vented properly. Unscrew the cap and you will find that it is spring-loaded with a diaphragm. Check to see if it is working properly. The vent is a black pipe which looks like a chimney with a cap on it.

The clog was in the lines leading to the kitchen faucet. We just let it run for a few hours and it finally blew through. Thanks for the reply.

Oops - I thought you were talking about a problem regarding slow drainage from the sink ("water from the kitchen sink trickles out" )...not realizing you were talking about a low, slow flow from the faucets. Glad the problem is solved.
