So my 2018 4270 cyclone is stationary. (Full Time live in it) We over filled the water tank 6-8 months ago (Can't remember exactly) and I poked a few holes in the under belly to drain out the excess water.
Fast forward to yesterday I had what smelt like **** all in the living/kitchen area. Thought maybe a line broke to the black tank. IT's fine. So started taking out the wall area in the storage area and boom hit with a wif of that smell, however nothing was wet or even moist. Further on I go beneath the camper and push up on the underbelly nothing. So I decided to cut open a huge (6x6) hole in the under belly. As I did that water came out. (I about jumped out of my skin thinking sewage landed on my face but it wasn't thank God). Still no signs of leaks at any of the pipes or connections nor flooring but definitely water "resting" between the plastic and the bubble foil (looks like reflexctix that people put in the windows) stuff they have on top of the plastic underbelly to insulate it. So what I'm thinking this stench was, was in fact the remains of water from when I over flowed the tank into the belly. I say that cause there's bit of surface rust looking stuff on the plastic and foil. However in between the plastic and foil is where the water is trapped and has really bad odor. Its rained on and off for the past few weeks. (1 rain a week it seems) but other than that I can't seem to see why it hasn't dried up considering I live in AZ.. Humidity here is non existent. Right now I have about a 6x6 hole in the under belly that I threw away the plastic and foil cause it stank but have plenty more I'm sure.
So the question is. How do we "vent" or dry out the under belly? Also since it doesn't move how bad would it be to leave it open to air out? (Cut or remove more of the under belly)
To add. I put a small fan by where the water heater is located to blow air down and out the under belly as the stentch was working its way to the camper through the "vent" right by my entry door that I believe is for the inverter and what not.
