Hi all, we have a 2014 Kodiak 240BHSL. We noticed the tub was slow to drain so today my wife removed the drain plug completely. We found enough hair in there to build a small dog
Anyway, got it all cleaned out and it's draining much better now however I can see water sitting just below the drain trap when the plug is removed. Is this normal?
Also, is it safe to use a product like drain-o to clean things out?
The trap is pretty close up to the drain, so I would say being able to see some water is normal. Dunno about drano in an RV system, I have never had to use it.

I should have thought about those.. my MIL was a cosmetologist for years and they used those in all the sinks at the salon. She still uses them on the bathroom sinks at home.

Thanks for the replies everyone, once cleaned out it is now draining much better. Sounds like the water we see just below the hole is normal as well.
The water you see is in the "P trap". It is there to hold water in order to keep smells from the tank from entering the living space among other reasons.

Here is an alternative to the old fashioned P-trap. Called a HepvO trap. They don't require water and can fit in some very tight quarters. We used one for a bathroom that we renovated in an old house.
