Hi everyone. I guess we goofed up. When we took delivery of our Jayfeather about 2 months ago, we left the dealer with the water tank 1/3 full. Well, two months later, we still had not used any of the water in the holding tank. Then two days into a five day trip, we woke up to discover that our trailer smelled horrible. After much debate and inspection, we finally checked the water tank. When my husband opened the valve and the water poured out, we realized that we had found the culprit. We drained all of the water out and the trailer smelled fine. But when we refilled the tank, the smell returned. We have rinsed out the tank a number of times and that darn smell is not budging.
Any suggestions? We're desperate. We definitely can't spend any more time in our trailer until this problem is fixed. Also, should we be adding anything to our water tank to prevent this from happening? My father-in-law who has rv'd for many years said that he leaves water in the tank for months and months at a time and has never had this happen. He lives in the northwest and we are in Texas. Could the heat and humidity that we have down here have caused this problem? Thanks in advance for any suggestions or information that anyone can offer.
