Pee trap

I have noticed a foul smell in my fifth wheel. All sinks have a pee trap, but the shower does not. Is there supposed to be a pee trap installed in the shower?

    Certainly could be what you are smelling hehe...
    PEE or POOP...

    I use to get bad smell by leaving my ceiling vent in the bath room opened... Pulling from the POT I guess...

  • I gotta believe there is a trap on your shower drain somewhere. Can you narrow down the area that its coming from. Open a sink cabinet and see if the smell is worse in one of them. My guess is an air admittance valve.

  • Have you checked the air admittance valves near the sinks? Sometimes those P traps need to be cleaned out. Take 'em apart and you'll be surprised how much gunk is built up.
  • yes, but may depend also. I think my last TT did not have a trap in the bath tub. It went straight into the tank.
