bathroom smells while travelling
Just bought a 29 foot Itasca class c, an 03 e 450 chassis, the bathroom smells like sewer while travelling. The toilet holds water, the seal appears to be ok, any ideas?

No smell til you're moving?
The vent pipe is getting wind down it and it is coming up through shower drain etc if you only have one waste tank.
If you have two then the water in thee bowl would bubble or disappear if a bad seal.
If you are driving with the window(s) open it can cause negative pressure dependent on window pulling it up through the shower etc.
I believe I read of some having a pipe connecting gray and black tanks.
Our gray tank smells of liquid shower soap, laundry soap and softener, scented dish washing soap and shampoo. So if it's scents came through the trap that would be the smell.
One other thing we read of here once in a while is a vent pipe falling into the tanks, from a bad glue job or whatever and the odors coming through wall joints, roof joints ac vents and the like.
