Foul odor

We have a foul odor that comes and goes. Have water in p traps and have put grey tank odor killer in. The little valve under the vanity appears to be in working order. I blew and sucked on it an it seems good. The odor is nasty. It is a gray water situation. Thanks.

Try putting some of your toilet chemicals/deodorizer in your sink and let it go into your gray tank. Are you leaving the gray tank valve open while you camp? If so, you are allowing the "stink gasses" from the sewer to get inside your trailer. Is there water in the p traps?

Mix up a solution of Odoban and dump some down sink and shower drains. Can be purchased at most big box stores.
