Smell from toilet
Smell from toilet
Hello,
When the waste tank has been used for a few days and I start driving there is a bad smell in the cab -
My thoughts are it's coming up through either the kitchen sink or the bath - either could have a lack of water in their U bends -
Any other thoughts or solutions?
thanks
Mark

Re: Smell from toilet
We have the same issue. Try running some fresh water down the toilet and kitchen drains. Also, put a drain plug in the shower stall drain. These steps always do the trick for us and the odor abates in about ten minutes. Hope this helps.

I had this same problem and I replaced the vent caps with the Syphon 360 mentioned. It worked great and took care of the odor problem.

Hi, what will the vent cap do? The link you sent just went to a site not to a specific product- thanks m

Re: Smell from toilet

Re: Smell from toilet
Thank you very much - so is it just an UN powered vent? Is it effective and easy to install?

Re: Smell from toilet
Yes. The vent is unpowered.
Here's a link to the 360 Siphon web page
