Re: [VAC] new member with foul smell

["Dave Carr" <dcarr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Suzy and welcome to the group. What you have is common to RVs. The foul smell is coming from the hot water heater or water tank or both. It is just as easy to fix as it is common. You need to bleach the whole water system.Put a cup or two of bleach in the water tank and fill it with water. Then run the hot water until you smell a strong smell of bleach. Then run every faucet until it smells of bleach. Go away for 24 hours and then drain and flush the system thoroughly and it will be fine. You have bacteria in the water system and the bleach will fix it just fine. If it is real bad it might take a couple of bleach jobs to clear up but it will fix it just fine.
