But 'tank deodorizers' are suppose to 'cure' that problem
SORRY ....being a bit sarcastic
Where is odor concentrated?
Have you checked if smell is coming from an Air Admittance Valve?
(On kitchen/bathroom sink drain lines after the 'P' traps---if stay open grey tank smells come back inside rv. Grey stinks as bad/worst then black tank)
Have you checked battery....over charging/boiling etc can stink like rotten eggs
First off yes i thought about the battery and it is okay in fact it's a brand new battery like less than a month old. Truthfully i didn't know about the air admittance valve, i will find that and check it out this weekend. The odor appears to be coming from back in the rear of the trailer where the bathroom and sink is located. This weekend i put about 15 gallons of hot water with detergent and fabric softener and drove about an hour to the campsite and dumped and rinsed thinking it might have been the black tank. I flushed it good and everything came out and pretty much clear. I did notice however when draining the gray water this weekend it was pretty cruddy with a lot of junk draining out so it may very well be the coming from the Gray tank.
