Sewage Vent

[JBrady1]

Good Morning,

We are really enjoying our Imagine!!!! Curious if there may be something wrong with the sewage vent. I flushed the black tank until crystal clear water was flowing.... I almost understood the odorous delight with the tank somewhat filled. Even with the tank flushed and empty, still getting punched in the face with the sewage scents.

Any ideas for things I can check. Yes we used a black water treatment with odor reducer, didn't seem to help.

Thanks a bunch,

JB

It’s possibly the vent could be installed wrong in the tank or clogged. I would go on the roof to the vent and take the cover off and see if you see anything. See if you smell tank order near the vent. Failing that, is your toilet bowl holding water? There’s a seal that should let it hold some water after you flush. If that seal is bad and water drains it you could get odor.

Make sure the air admittance valves under both sinks are screwed into their pipes securely - the gray water can smell as bad as the black and these are a common cause of smells in the bathroom and kitchen. Also make sure you don't leave the bathroom ceiling vent open when not in use. The black tank vent on the roof is fairly close and any kind of a breeze can send those lovely aromas right back inside the rig.

Thank you,

You'll have to contact Grand Design Customer Service--the moderators are not authorized to provide drawings. Too many variables based on VIN that only GD employees have access to in their database.

Thanks for your understanding!
