Sewer Smell Inside RV

How to track down sewer odors inside an RV and whether they're related to tanks, vents, or traps.

Dry P-Traps

Water in the sink trap blocks odors. If it evaporates (during storage) or sloshes out (while driving), smells come up. Run water in all drains.

Air Admittance Valve

The vent valve under the bathroom sink often fails, allowing tank gas into the vanity cabinet. It's a cheap and easy replacement.

Can't fix it yourself?

Don't let a mechanical issue ruin your trip. Connect with vetted mobile RV technicians who can come to your location and get you back on the road.
