Took a couple grandchildren camping on Friday night. Hooked up to the water at the county park. I must mention that my wife accidently turned on the switch to the electric water heater well before I ever had the supply hose hooked up and pressure to the camper. Don't know if that contributes to the smell or not. Would that have burnt the electric element out causing the smell? She thought that she was turning on the electricity for the lights. Water heater heated on gas just fine. Anyway throughout the evening and the next morning there was a bad smell which I think came from the water and not the sewer. On the sewer side the camper containment tanks were empty, plus I had ran water into all of the traps. Seems like when we ran water there was this rotten burnt smell to the water. There is some mention to sulfur water. I don't know anything about it, how it occurs, or how to get rid of it.
Also, if the electric element did burn out how are they generally fixed on a camper water heater? Are they like a house electric water heater. Can't seem to find the element. Thanks a lot.
