We have a Featherlite with living quarters that we purchased used. We have a problem now with the water smelling like sulfur and the water coming out is grey in color. I have flushed the fresh water tank several times, but it keeps turning grey and stinking. I'm filling at the house which is on a well and has a softener. And the water going in is clean and odor free. The fresh water tank has been replaced with a white poly type. We had the trailer serviced at the local trailer shop; they cleaned and checked the water heater, furnace and AC unit. They said everything was in good shape. They did show me a hot shot I believe he called it. It's under the sink and is like a Minnie water heater that is electric. The main water heater is propane.Any ideas on how to isolate and resolve my problem? I'm sure someone on here has been here and done it. Thanks!

Thanks!

I'll give it a try.

Sounds like I need to increase my chlorine dosage.
