Help with gray tank!

2021 White Hawk 32KBS

I full time. I just emptied my tanks and noticed my gray tank 2 (kitchen) didn't empty but didn't think much of it. Went back inside and washed my hands and the sink started gurgling, slow to drain and now it stinks!! This is the first time this has ever happened. I don't put anything down my sink besides soap and water. I have no idea what to do and I'm not in a campground to ask for help. I do have full hookups. Do I plunge it? Liquid draino?

Plunging it may dislodge anything that may be in the trap but don't use Drano. It's too harsh of a chemical.

Verify your gate valve is opening.
Maybe this?-
Once during a dump I had my grey #1 tank start flowing strong then instantly stop with the hose contracting. I think the cutout from assembly was left in the tank blocking the flow, but I have no way to be sure. I do have a twist on gate valve at the dump hose, I shut it and opened grey #2 at the same time and I think that back flow pushed the blockage back into the tank.

Have you ever opened/dumped both gray at the same time where something from gray 1 could have pushed up into gray 2? Doesn't sound likely, but water could do it.

2nd I'd double check the valve is opening as mentioned.

3rd something is stuck in there. If you only ever have water/soap going down, I wouldn't plunge, as it could make it worse or pop a connection and cause a leak. I'd get someone with a snake camera and see what is going on. More expensive up front, but could prevent a larger repair bill.
