Thanks Jon , and Bruce . I was trying to stop the smell coming out like a reverse S bend which stops the smell coming back into the bus .
Might try a made up sorta s bend with the 10mm pipe with some water in it I think ??? maybe it will still burp when needed too as apposed to the smell there all the time .

Bernie, I had a similar problem with Wilbor (1), the grey water tank was under the stairs and the breather right there. I put about 4m of clear hose onto the breather pipe and ran it to the back, never had that smell problem again :)

Bernie,

If you connect a Hepvo valve to the breather, the membrane will remain closed, eliminating the smell, until it needs to burp.
