Hi,
I have a new, to me, 2018 Minnie Winnie 31G. The shower doesn't drain. The gray tank is empty. I've tried twice the baking soda and white vinegar method. I've also used Green Gobbler overnight, followed by 2 pots of boiling water. I've stuck the spine thing all the way down and pulled it up clean. Nothing has worked. I am open to any ideas. Thank you.
 
It probably depends on the type of drain that's installed. If it's a duckbill type drain putting a "spine thing" down it then pulling up could possibly damage it. Can you try a gentle toilet plunger type thing to see if you can force water in the path it's supposed to go?

 
check roof vent too.....no water flow if vent is not venting.
 
Compressed air can work in some cases (just make sure you make a good seal or you will get blow-back...don't ask me how I know this 😒)
 
I had that problem. Previous owner had allowed lots of hair down the drain. There was an access panel below the shower floor giving access to a trap. I removed the trap and cleaned it. Drain now works like new.
