We have a new to us (2014) travel trailer and have had it out 3 times so far this year. It's a smaller trailer (22 ft.) and therefore has a small black water holding tank (I believe 26 gallon). We are usually out for 6 days and use a portable waste tank to dump after 3 days. Afterwards, we notice a distinct sewer smell in the trailer, and seems to be worse when we open the cabinet doors under the kitchen sink. NOTE: There is no smell in the bathroom and we use drop in tank treatments when we first set up on arrival at the campground and again after dumping mid-trip. We have been on trips in April when weather was cooler and in May and June when it's been hotter so thinking weather is not a factor. Anyone have a clue what might be causing the smell to come into the trailer and under the sink?
You mean other than what you put in it? Frequent flushing, adding treatment, and dumping may help.
Volume of water is the key. Start at 1/2 full, add treatment, and get back to us.
