Daryle,

The OP posted this on a different forum?

It sure looks like it. They joined on 4/5, Posted, and have never returned. Perhaps the notification emails when others have posted were sufficient for the OP's needs?

Or posting on another forum? Do we know what forum?

I believe I saw it on FB, Cool RV Stuff Gismos and Gadgets. Yeah, I know, a lot of people ask for repair advice on that page which has nothing to do with the subject title.

AZ Traveler,
I don't think so. I believe the guy was talking about a Keystone Cougar??

We have a 2020 Montana 41’ and have had the sewer smell problem a few times. The new montanas don’t have a P trap in the bathroom sinks or the bathroom shower. They have what is called a bladder. My husband has had to replace our bladder in the shower once and is now replacing the bladder in one of our bathroom sinks. The bladder is literally like a rubber and it clogs up with soap, dead skin, and other things. They are disgusting. It smells like a rotten perm/raw sewage.

Inspect every waste pipe very closely for cracks or some of the great RV engineering that I actually had. Mine developed a bad smell inside, thought it was the air admittance valve but found that keystone decided it was a good idea to secure the back of the kitchen drawer support to the sewer vent pipe by screwing into it. After several thousand miles the screw came loose leaving a hole and bad odor.

I just replaced the Hepvo valve in our 21 3761FL because every time you ran hot water down either master bathroom sink it stunk very BAD. Seems to have helped, there is no air admittance valve on the rear sinks just the Hepvo valve in the basement under the sinks. I was debating if i wanted to install traps and an air admittance valve to resolve the stench, bit it would be a lot of work and so far seems to have subsided. I would have all of your tanks cleaned.
note the Hepvo valve for the shower is in the basement as well! You should see 20 degree difference with 2 of the AC's running depending on if the rig in in the sun or not. in our experience. Sounds like you have been having a nightmare. Well, there's nowhere to go but up from here! Lots of knowledgeable people on this site. Don't be afraid to ask questions. someone's seen the issue before. Good Luck
