Thanks for the replies. I think we need to get some of these when we're near CW at the rally.

As for the odors, for the past several months we've had occasional odors from our galley gray tank. Even when the dump valve is closed and there is water in the trap. We had a leak in that tank and as of about a month ago it has a brand spanking new gray tank. Guess what. Still have the odor. Now I'm convinced the trap is the problem and needs to be changed out. If you are scratching your head about the odor it might be worth replacing the trap just to find out. Ours is likely coated with grease and whatever else goes down the kitchen sink. Trap cleaners help for a short while but not for long term on ours.

See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!
