I just bought an Alfa Gold 2001 40 ft trailer to live it. I know nothing about trailers. I have strong sewer fumes filling the trailer and setting off the LPG Alert. I have to leave and open the windows and ceiling "out" fans, door, etc. Besides the vent valve, what could cause this.
I'm using odor control and keeping the black water flushed. It seems to come back if I turn the propane heater on, but I had the propane/heater/stove checked for leaks--no propane leaks.
Any suggestions on what the problem might be?
3. Make sure that the sewer hose going from your trailer to the sewer connection is properly secured to the trailer and is properly connected to the parks sewer connection. Check for any leaks in the sewer hose itself; also make sure the sewer hose has the proper slope so that the waste does not accumulate in the hose.
4. Have someone go on top of your RV and check the sewer vents for any blockages caused birds’ nests, rat’s nests, etc.
5. You could also have a loose or broken vent connection in the RV. Depending on the construction of your 5th Wheel, these vents could be hard to get to.
There could be other problems, but the ones I listed above are the most common that would cause sewer smells in the trailer.
I hope that you get to the bottom of this problem.
