Sewer smell
We bought a 2005 38' Winnebago Adventurer. We have a very strong sewer smell. It is very strong after I dump and flush the tanks. I use chemicals in both tanks. I can't figure out the cause. Any help ...

If it's not your vent pipes and your black and grey tanks are clean, then another obscure cause of odor may be the water heater. I tracked sewer odor for several months to no avail, and thought I might have a propane leak, only to find that if I didn't drain and flush the water heater frequently, it smelled like the proverbial rotten egg. Now, I make sure to drain the water heater after each trip. No more smell.
I also thoroughly drain, and flush the black and grey tanks each time when I get back from a trip too. It's just part of the routine of unpacking. And I know some will say it's overkill, but at the end of the flushing, I put in 2 gallons of hot water with Dawn and Calgon to sit in there until my next trip. At the beginning of each trip, I also put in one bottle of the Camco blue or green treatment. Haven't had any smell in quite a while now.
Just my $0.02 worth......
