Shower drain broke lose from holding tank??

Guessing this is a monster job to fix??? The tank broke lose from drain plug, now 1-2 inch gap between drain & top of the tank. Any advise appreciated.

I had the same problem on my 86 Classic 34'. I can see the bathroom drain plumbing from under the fridge. The plastic pipe leading to the gray tank has quite a bit of movement to it. Mine is supported on a little wood block.

I removed the heat vent below the shower door and pushed in the heat duct tube. Then I can see the drain pipe to gray tank connection. I was able to push, pull, cuss and finally get the drain pipe back into the gray tank inlet neck. Then I used my little 5/16 socket on a small 1/4 in ratchet and tighten the hose clamp. Not to tight to break it, but good and snug. If you drop any tool, it will end up in the tank support pan eventually.

It is a one hand job working through the heat vent hole. It may not be too hard to remove the board beneath the shower to open up more room to work. By the way, I could not see this connection from under the trailer with the tank support pan removed. A guy has to repair this joint from the shower heat vent hole.

hpe this helps,good luck,
