smell

My 2018 Arctic Fox 27-5L has an onboard Cummins Onan 3600 LP series generator (model number 3.6KY-26120R, spec R). I bought the camper used a little less than a year ago. The generator only has about 125 hrs on it. I put on about 10-15 of those hours. When running, the generator gives off a...

We are getting a stale smell in the front area of the coach. We checked carpets, everything is dry. It’s kinda like a wet dog. Any ideas?

Hey folks, I've been having a smell from my diesel heater ever since it was installed. Not a diesel or exhaust smell but a plastic burning or hot plastic smell. It was present on my first diesel heater and now my second unfortunately. It is not an initial startup smell. I've been running...

We are looking at a 2022 Dream. Think the price of the coach is excellant and our trade in was more than expected. We are ready to go but!! Something seems amiss. Miles are low at 6000. Build date was in April 22, AC said in serivice date was Jun of 24 and warranty good till Jun of 26...

We're back! We have been parked on our son's farm for 3 months in North Carolina after we sold our house in Colorado. Just bought a house here and we are looking forward to moving into it. We have been using well (untreated) water all this time and we keep developing a foul smell in our rigs'...

Good Morning! Quick backstory- My 2002 Holiday Rambler has two (2) Atwood Atwood 8525-iv-dclA furnaces. When I received the coach one worked fine, the other had a bad sail switch. Naturally, I used the operable furnace until the bearings went out in the blower motor. I put on my repair hat...

Is there a way to clean the hot water tank seperately from the main water system? My RV was in storage for 2 years. Yes, I winterized it with the red stuff. I've flushed everything a couple times, did the sanitation steps (1/4 cup per 15 gallons, so a little over 1.5 cups for 95 gallons)...

I Just want to do a sanity check and see if anyone else experienced this. I have a 2012 nissan xterra with factory tow package and upgraded curt brake controller, curt 7 way harness with the necessary relays, and the curt 7 way plug. I have a 2025 aurora bhx with lead acid batteries. I tried...

Hey folks I assumed to be owner hopefully with a question or two.. About to put a deposit on an '08 diplomat and notice the smell of coolant in the rear and upon startup it was stronger. The owner took it to Cummings last September and they replaced the plastic overflow tank with a metal...

Our new Tiffin Byway (diesel pusher 38' class A motorhome) has frequent sewer smell in the unit. The smell originates from the rear master bath. We diligently flush and treat our black and grey sewer tanks with each tank dump. Tiffin tells us both the grey and black holding tanks vents are...

Hi all, On our last trip, a couple hours into driving, we noticed this burning rubber smell inside the coach. It was strongest mid-ship, around the kitchen/dinette area. My family ran around trying to localize the smell, it was strongest in the middle, some wafted into the front and NOTHING in...

Last October I put the class A RV in storage. Before doing so I did an extremely long flush of the black tank. I parked it on a weekend property with a sewer hookup about a month ago and the toilet has barely been used. The gauge says it’s empty although I’ve ran a dozen bowl fulls of water...

We are full time on our 2019 Thor Tuscany. We move from place to place every 3-7 days. For the past few weeks, I have noticed a rotten egg kind of smell in the front cabin driving area immediately after starting the engine and this continues for about 30 minutes or so of driving. It is a DP...

OK, I have been working on this for a year and can't figure it out. Whenever we open any tap in the house, we get foamy noxious water. It takes a few minutes to run out but the smell makes you cough it's so bad:eek:. I sanitize the water system at the beginning of the season and have been...

Is it ok to have a slight gasoline smell at the generator after running it for 10-15 minutes? It eventually goes away. Thanks

We have a 2022KZ Durango 333. we have experienced a smell and taste in all of our water sources, including the kitchen bathroom sink and shower when we first turn them on. This is after I have sanitized the tank twice, as well as flushed the lines with the sanitizing solution of bleach. It’s...

We’ve noticed on a longer or steeper downhill when the engine brake is engaged we get a smell of hot rubber in the cab it doesn’t quite smell like brakes to me and it happens even when I’m not touching the brakes much has anyone else encountered this? It’s mild and not that bad but gets our...

2001 Monaco Diplomat with horrible smell coming from under kitchen sink. I've replaced the AAV and it made no difference. Things seem to drain fine, I've flushed with soapy water and I can't see any issues with broken plumbing? I poured 5 gallons down with the slide in and with the slide out...

We began smelling gasoline outside the motorhome from time to time during our last trip. We could smell it on both sides of the motorhome and in the back by the generator. The wife claims she could smell it inside the motorhome. I could not but I'm 81 and the nose ain't what it used to be...
