I just bought my 25.5foot Terry 5th wheel about 6 weeks ago. we have used it several times, but in the past week we notice a rotten egg smell coming from the hot water heater if you leave it for about 3 days. Was wanting to know how to get rid of the smell?

Do you drain your water heater after every time out? If not drain it and re-fill and the smell should be gone. It's happened to me and it was just from the water sitting between trips. I drain mine after every trip now.
