Smell of rotten eggs

[dave01736]

Every so often, when driving along we get a wafting smell of rotten eggs, the gas is turned off(as you
Should when driving) the motor home is a 93 swift kontiki 6 berth, it smells almost like a cat converter? Any ideas

Like Old Arthur say's if your waste tank is full it'll spill over and you'll get it in the cab, it happened to me. Also, a battery boiling up smells like rotting eggs. If the regulator on your alternator is umpty it will boil your battery.

Ours was caused by the shower tray U bend drying out - Try pouring a drop of water down any plugholes you rarely use!

The first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title was the battery being over charged. If you don't find the source of the smell in the living area, have a look at the battery and get the alternater checked for charging voltage.
