P-trap refers to the drains under your sinks. The P-Trap is the very bottom piece of drain pipe that is U-shaped (wonder why is isn't called a U-Trap?). When you run water in a sink, gravity will force it in to the drain. When you stop running water in the sink, water stops draining out of the pipes and the U-shaped pipe stays full of water. This is what prevents sewer gases (and smell) from coming in to your house/trailer. It is the same in your bathrooms/kitchen sinks in your home.
