Been fighting this battle with the AAV located at my washing machine drain. I first tried replacing the original with the Studor. No help. Considered piping the vent straight up through the roof like the black water vent and the other gray water vent from the front of the coach. Haven't done this yet but did install a 1-1/2" quarter turn valve below the AAV and only open it when using the washing machine. The vent in the front of the coach does vent through the roof. I guess the one at the washing machine is only there to prevent the trap from being sucked dry.
One thing we do now is to make sure we clean dishes and remove all grease, as much as possible, before washing the dishes. We also add deodorant to the gray tank, which I have never had to do before.
Problem seems to be solved.
