Air Admittance Valves May 14, 2023, 04:04:47 pm If you ever are subjected to the stinky coach syndrome, it is usually a failed air admittance valve (also called vent). In our 09 both are located under the bathroom sink. Home Depot has the same ones for $11 and the superior Studor ones for about $30. In one rig I bought the cheap one but it didn't fix the smell. The Studor did the trick. If these are good and there's nothing plugged up you should never have to add anything to either tank to prevent odors.jor 4 Likes
