Stink!
Ok I think I have a smelly gray tank. Bedroom smelled couple days ago so I put some water in washer drain tarp. Since we don’t have washer it seemed reasonable the trap dried out. Now it stinks in the kitchen sink area. Any ideas?

In the construction trade we call them "Studor vents". If that's not the problem, check up on the roof for a missing vent cap and a nest built in the vent pipe
And make sure you get the Studor brand with stainless steel internals. It will be white. The cheap black plastic ones like shown have a cheap rubber flapper valve but that's what all the rigs come with.- You need to check the sink backflow valve, they can stick, cheap and easy to replace. Most any store has plumbing supplies.

- Did you check for an air admittance valve under the kitchen sink?
