Lil' Stanker

[Kurt Horvath]

Ryan & Leroy,

I installed two lil-stankers on the coach back in September.
They work as advertised. Good service, burnt up a switch they repaced
it no charge and it was my installation that caused the switch to
burn, the hot wire got grounded under the rim of the lil-stanker, my
bad.I used the external unit, easier for me to install, I could only
access one up pie on the inside of the coach, so I decided to do both
pipes the same. The internal units are more powerful but I'm happy
with what I have. The last 1500 mile trip I had only one smelly
incident , just after dumping. I could not determine the source but
it hasn't reoccurred. I'm going to try Leroy's solution and make sure
the shower and other drain traps are full and I will use a flat,
soft, cover over the shower drain. If that does not work then the
only source left for me to fix is the one Rob R. pointed out. The air
vent in the toilet. Not sure what to do about that. Maybe Rob will
chime in here. If you have a washer/dryer you may want to check out
the check valve on the air purge system to winterize the water
system, they are not air tight, and as it turns out it was my #1
source of bad smells.

LilStanker has a model that installs in the vent line so you don't
have to mess with the vent venturi.  I think on one of these forums
someone just installed them. That vent for all intent and purposes
operates in a semi vacuum at best. It still would not hurt to seek
out the source of the issue.
