Re: LINGERING INTERIOR ODOR

["overlander_64" <overlander64@xxxx>]

Greetings Ron!

You don't mention the particular odor, but I have a possible source 
other than the adhesives used beneath the wall covering. Is the 
odor one of sulfur or rotten eggs? If the odor resembles either of 
these smells, it could be eminating from the process of heating 
water with high sulfur content. My home well has an elevated sulfur 
content and the reaction when it is heated in my Airstream's water 
heater will result in a lingering sulfur odor - - it will be 
especially strong after the shower is used or after dishes have been 
done. I don't have this problem in my home as there is a special 
annode rod available to deal with the problems related to elevated 
sulfur content in the water heater - - no such device is available 
for the Atwood units so far as I have been able to determine.

It seems nearly impossible that adhesives would still be off-gassing 
after more than thirty years, but stranger things have happened.

Good luck finding the source of the odor.
