Whats that gas like smell when i enter my rv trailer? This happens especially when i havent used or entered my trailer for a month. The propane tanks are all off. No alarms from my gas detector...

Could be from your black tank. When I am not going to use my trailer for more than a few weeks, I rinse out the black tank and "sanitize" it by filling it with water and adding a good amount of chlorine bleach, let it sit for an hour or so, then drain it. If you can't fill and drain like that, try just pouring a cup or so of bleach down the toilet, don't really need a whole lot.
Septic tanks can give off a "gas" smell, so it is something to think about.
