Thanks kdeiss - this gives me a bit more hope!
I'll definitely
start by replacing the hot water anode rod in the water heater, then flush & bleach.
If I decide to replace the anode rod (there is some debate as to whether we should bypass the water heater and go with something like a Renai tankless water heater), do you know the type of metal the anode rod should be (i.e., aluminum)?
I seem to recall reading an article some time ago (maybe from back when I had my Jayco 5th wheel, 10 years ago), regarding the culprit being a reactance between the metal (magnesium?) used in the water heater with sulfites/sulfides in the water in certain areas - but I honestly can't remember what metal the article recommended for the replacement?!
Thanks again - hope this does the trick
