Sulfur smell in kitchen sink when water is turned on

Hi all have a weird situation. When turning on the water faucet in the kitchen sink on our 4113 very strong rotten egg smell or sulfur smell it only happens in the kitchen sink nowhere else wondering if anyone has either the same issue or any ideas on how to correct it

We had that issue on our Pinnacle. I had to sanitize the water system to get rid of it. There is several threads on here for this issue. Most people suggest the cause is not draining the water from the lines after trips and the water going bad or leaving water in the hot water heater. I also remove the in-line filter and the filter in the refrigerator and shake all the water out.

Thanks er crocket, but I'm living in my RV, just did a complete sanitize before hooking up where I am, have an over sized filter on it.

I had the same issue in my 222. I drained and flushed the water heater and the smell was gone! I wasn't using hot water, but that is where the smelly water was coming from.
I used one of those curved tipped wands to flush out the WH tank. Worked like a charm.

Same here. I had one those tubes you screw on to a hose end for gravity fill fresh water water tanks. Fits perfect into the tank. Poured a little bleach in there and flushed out real good. Problem solved.

We had this happen to us. We always drain our fw tank as we drive home.This does not empty wh. so when sitting in warmer temps for a few weeks water stagnates. could empty wh but its easier to just run hot water for awhile

We had the same issue with our new 29MVP Class C. It was definitely the water heater. We flushed the WH and then filled it with three gallons of White Vinegar and water. Cycle the heater 3 times then let it sit for a day and then flush it. Smell is completely gone and has not returned. As a precaution we now drain the WH after each trip.

Thank you everyone, I will try and do as suggested. Gotta get some time off, but I will flush the WH.
