Why does having the furnace on produce a sewer smell ?
We're currently in Arizona. The temperatures drop down to the 30 Fs during the night. To conserve energy, we close the door to our bedroom and only have a small electric fan heater going at the 45 F level. We turn off the propane gas heater that heats everything including the dining, living, and kitchen areas of our 30'+ permanent trailer. The inlet to the gas furnace is in those areas.
This means that we run the furnace for a fairly long time in the mornings to heat up these latter areas. Sometimes, not always, after a while of running the furnace, a sewer smell starts to appear.
I tell my DW I think it's because we have no windows open. She thinks it means the Black/Grey tanks need to be emptied.
What is your opinion/suggestions ? Thank you.
