    Smelly sink
    For the first time this summer, I hooked up the water to my pull along camper, turned the faucets on, and a slight odor, which made me cough a lot, came out. How do I get rid of it.
    Thanks

    Hi Tawnya,
    Did the odor come from the water or the drain? Tom

    Speedball, I believe the smell came from the sink, not the water.

    Your sink was not in use for long period. God knows what "lived" inside that sink drain between the last time you used it and now.
    Does your trailer have some kind of waste water collection cistern ? If positive, than drain it and clean it by refiling and draining again. Just run lots of water through the enclosed drain system of your trailer. That should help.

    Take a 1/2 gallon of bleach and pour it down the sink and let it set overnight. Next morning flush it out with hot water and flush out the holding tank, if any. Good luck, Tom
