Thanks for this video, our caravan is only 8 months old and used on 3 separate weeks holidays so far, we have noticed our kitchen sink is taking longer to drain, but looking at the way the pipes are secured under the floor and the way droop and hang low in places causing water traps, there’s no wonder they start to clog up, so, thanks for your cleaning tips which I will use immediately 🍻
I block the waste outlets, using 2 old champagne corks, sanded diwn to the correct diameter. Then fill the drains with disolved washing soda crystals and leave overnight, then flush. Also works with Collapz drain pipes, create a U shape, fill with the soda mix, then link the two ends together to form a circle, trapping the soda solution. Again leave overnight and flush with clean water.
Thanks for sharing Graham, always keen to understand how others carry out such tasks. As I said in the vlog what you use will be down to personal preference depending on what you are trying to achieve, personally I don't like the thought of leaving the water in the pipes overnight just in case you do spring a leak but that's just me lol.
Really appreciate the time you put aside to film these maintenance jobs, it's the catalyst for me to do ours. Thanks.
Thanks for the support 👍
Only had our first 2nd hand caravan since July - 3 rainy weekends away so far and notice sink slow to drain. New sub here 👍
Loving the support, thanks.
