All,
I've had a camper a number of years. I have a 2013 BHS32 parked in a camp ground hooked up to the water district water. I shut off the water after every weekend stay, and when we come back five days later, turn on the water at the kitchen sink, it reaks of sulfur. Bad enough it smells up the entire camper. I removed the p-trap thinking it was the drain smelling. Not so, its the water. I used to shut off the main water outside, and open a faucet to release the pressure on the lines. I quit doing that thinking I was introducing air to the lines, thinking it would cause bacteria to grow. Also had a faucet leaking, put new washers in it thinking it was letting air in the line. If we let the water run for a while the odor gets better but still a hint of sulfur. So what Ive been doing is, unhook the white garden hose, pouring in some bleach, hook the hose back up, go to the kitchen faucet and run it until we smell the bleach coming out of the faucet, let it sit for an hour or so, and no more odor for two or three weeks, then it starts again. This only happens at the kitchen sink, not in the outside kitchen, toilet, shower or vanity. I am baffled!!!! I read this forum everyday and know there are a lot of intelligent folks on here. Hope one of you can help me out.
