    Hi Army

    It is possible that instead of going down the drain you went UP the vent... ;) Rent an electric snake with a "drop head" on it and try again.

    When snaking, plan on going in and out about 5 times to clear the drain line real well.

    You should NOT have to snake into the drain 50 feet with any modular home that I have seen... just far enough to reach a larger drain line that toilets and other drains connect into and that are draining well, OK?

    Good luck!

    Another option would be to simply snake from the kitchen roof vent. Put out enough snake to reach the base and 16 more feet. Good luck. Tom
