Sewage odor

[George Lowry]

Hi Scott,

A couple of things come to mind that may be causing your problem. First
is that one or more of the traps from sinks or shower are dry. This
allows the odors to permeate the coach. Also, when traveling, it is not
uncommon for a negative pressure to be formed inside the coach. This
will suck odors or whatever from any source it can find. That coupled
with a dry or partially dry trap can cause the problem. Try running
some water (or antifreeze if you feel the need) into the drains and try
driving it again. Hopefully it is this simple.
