Drain clog Scamp 13

Cleared drain line from bathroom sink and shower drain to pump. Kitchen sink drains fine. Emptied grey water tank and it drained fine for awhile but now clogged again. Pump sounds like it is running and worked after I drained grey water as I said above. I'm thinking the pump is clogged or broken. The trailer sat for 9 weeks while waiting out Covid. Is there a way to blow out pump or just replace? Or could it be something else?

Have you serviced the filter?

Drain clog

Yes, cleaned out filter but will again. 2019 Scamp but I'm 3rd owner and quite a bit of gunk in the pipes. From another thread on draining issues it seems like it could be a number of issues.

Re-build kits

You can get a rebuild kit for that pump. I also carry a spare pump. Mine failed the first year, It was raining so I pulled the hose to drain the shower and no one noticed. When I got back home I filled the shower with water and the pump started to work again and that was two years ago. It was like it had lost prime, but I do not think that is possable.

I wish I knew why.....

With the water ABOVE the pump it should not get air locked or lose prime, but that's what it acted like.
