We have been smelling waste water gas/oders under the kitchen sink. Often when cabinet doors are shut. I lolled under sink just now and it stunk! No drips or leaks in pipes. But did notice there is NO pee-trap in either sink drain lines. It appears the Oder is just drifting up from the grey water tank. Is that my problem? Do you think there is a pee-trap under floor before it gets into tank?

Putting the P-trap under the floor would probably be a violation of plumbing codes, or just plumbing common sense. You need to be able to access it in the event something gets dropped in the sink, like a ring or something. If they didn't put one in, then somebody must have gotten lazy during the build. It may be located in the cabinet next to the sink. In my rig, the common trap is under the sink, serving both basin drains.
look for the riser that comes out of the floor. The P-trap should be connected to it before it goes down. Like said above, it could be in an adjoining cabinet. Above the tee, there is a air admittance valve, this could be bad. They are only about $3.00, replace it, you can get one at any hardware store.
What is an air admittance valve?
Never mind. I googled it and understand. I'm going to look one more time and determine if I have the required pee-trap. If I don't have one, then should heartland fix that for free?
Thanks, I'd be real interested to know if this was a missed item on my unit.
thanks for the picture. I was able to determine I do have a pee-trap.
