Sulfer or rotten egg smell

[Ford ECO]

A while back the was a thread about the above and I can't find the answer to getting rid of it. Would someone please post the answer. Tx.

I've never had this issue, but one suggestion was to drain the hot water tank between every trip. The person who suggested that said it solved his issue.

Good luck!

Draining the tank after a trip cured our rotten egg smell. A pretty simple fix.

The procedure for getting rid of the rotten egg smell should be in the manual for the hot water heater if it’s an Atwood heater. You can use a mixture of vinegar in the hot water tank, then drain and flush it to get rid of the smell.

Ya I do drain, but the previous owner may not have , so I guess I'll try the vinegar trick. tx for the input. ps I've been a member since '10 but had a problem with sign in so I went all new.

Where is the smell coming from? It could also be a battery issue, or the age-old hot water heater stink.
