It appears that a blockage is in the fresh water tank drain line or at the drain outlet within the tank. I have opened the drain valve and checked that it is opening via a "snake" (this was suggested by the valve manufacture KBI). What can I use to dislodge any obstruction. I don't want to use drain cleaner; this is my fresh water tank. Any suggestion ? (2010 Pace Arrow)

As best I can recall I have never drained the fresh water tank in my Southwind. In the fifth wheel I opened the drain valve, but nothing happened. Then I turned on the water pump and the fresh water ran right out. I turned the water pump off as soon as the fresh water tank was empty. I know, apples to oranges, but it might be worth a try.
