2022 Salem 22RBS

We purchased a brand new model back in May. Not long after I started noticing a sewer smell when I open the cabinet doors in the bathroom besides the shower where one of the vent is. My husband sealed the holes where they cut for the pipe in the top and bottom, seemed to help for the first couple of days now the smell has returned. Any idea what to do to stop the smell...has anyone else had this issue?

Welcome to the forum.

Do you have rv tank treatment in both the black and grey water tanks?
Has anyone checked those vents to make certain they are clear (no debris, wasps or animals nesting in there)?

Hi,
Vents are clear, only have rv treatment in the black tank...will have to put something in the grey water tank.

Moved thread from the Toyhauler's Salem/Wildwood sub-forum to the TT/5th Wheel section's Salem sub-forum since the OP's trailer is not a Toyhauler.

Just a thought also. I have always left my grey open and had issues with smell. No longer an issue. I keep grey closed until 2/3 full or more than dump. No more smell.
