Hey Brains trust,
We picked the van up after it was in storage since March. It felt great to get away - that was until we ran the water.
We were connected to the mains of the park so we weren't using our tanks.
I checked the mains coming out the end of our hose and it smelt and tasted fine.
There was a definite smell of "Dead fish" coming from our taps.
I ran the taps for 10+ minutes tying to flush the lines but the smell persisted.
We later *think* we have narrowed it down to the hot water tank - which I flushed several times and it seems to be better.
Has any ever experienced this or something similar? Could it be the anode has caused this? I did swap it about 19 months ago but I can't recall the brand I put it - I think I just bought it from a Jayco dealer.
Over the next few days I'll pull the anode and give the hot water tank a good flush from the inside and replace the anode. I'm really hoping to see chunks of anode and a smell come out (so I know I am on the right track)
Any other thoughts as to what else I can do to fix this? We are using the van again in a few weeks so I need to get this sorted.
