HepvO waterless drain trap

[Relayman]

Has anyone ever used the HepvO waterless drain trap to replace the p-trap and vacume break under their island sink ? After I drain the tank associated with the kitchen...I get a foul smell in the camper. so I was considering using the HepvO system.

If you have a place to install a dishwasher thats not there yet and it's already plumbed in make sure the unused drain is sealed. Others have mentioned this as well.

I have this item in my current Landmark. No trouble at all in 2 years of operation.

Sorry should have said those with islands that can have dishwasher installed regardless of model

Or Landmark has it too. I have a post about this on my thread. I'll see if I can find it for you.

Yes they do fail.
Try putting a baggie over the Studor valve and secure it with a rubber band. That will eliminate any odors if the valve is defective.
Replacement valves are not expensive. About $4 for a cheap one and under $15 for a good one.

Try covering the valve first since that is easy to do. If that doesn't work, your problem may be similar to mine and others on the forum, a gap between the vent pipe and the roof where the pipe exists the rig. Since your smell only occurs when there is a large volume of air passing through the pipe, dumping/grey valve open, I think this might be your problem. This is an easy fix. Pull the vent cap, fill in gap and replace the cap. My smell went away and I know this has worked for others here also.
