OK, there are a thousand posts on sewer smells in RV Forum.net, but this one refers to Winne Adventurers.
First of all, we had no problems with sewer smells in the first two years we owned the RV.
Then we started to have smells, but never while parked, only while moving.
We closed the two roof vents, which seemed to work for a while, but then we found that the smell returned, only while driving, and seemed to come from the hanging closet in the bathroom (where the washer drier used to be until we abandoned it as useless).
More recently, we noticed the smell while driving, and it was concentrated in the cabinet under the bathroom sink.
And here is the nub.
I noticed that the max smell was in the corner where the sink pipe goes through, so I took some duct-tape and sealed the hole. This seemed to cure the problem.
So my theory is, first you have to be sure that the vent over the toilet and the main vent by the kitchen are not pulling in vapours.
And after that, you have to seal any connecting orifices between the living area and the underneath, which may allow vapours to seep into the cabin area.
Where those vapours are rising from is not clear to me, since we have no sewage leaks or whatever. But if it works, then it works.
I would love to hear from any people with Winne Adventurers or similar models that have had similar experiences
