I had noticed that the black water drain valve leaks a little so I bought a new valve and changed that out, too. I'm learning but have a long way to go.

Repairs and upgrades
While at the FMCA rally we picked up some new vents for the black and gray water tanks. Diana can smell some odor coming from the gray tank, we think. I smell it on occasion. I checked and all the drain lines have p-traps so there is no mechanical reason to be getting this odor. But it is there. So while at the rally, we found some vents that really sound like they will help. Even a guy who does not sell them but tests a lot of RV stuff suggested these vents. He does seminars on RV repair and maintenance and goes by the name "The RV Doctor". So we bought the vents and I changed them out.

Pipes are meant to take away waste and the odors that come with them. If your RV is starting to smell, that means your pipes could either be blocked, or not working efficient enough. Had the vents work, though? They could introduce a new way out for the odors, so they won't linger around. Hopefully, you've dealt with the problem by now. Good luck, and drive safely!
