Air admittance valves or backflow preventers. Do you have tank washouts in your black and grey tanks?

That would be your vent for the drain. It sounds like you need a new air admittance valve. They unscrew and you can pick one up at Lowe's or similar places. Here is a link to the one at Lowe's: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Studor-1-1-...e-Vent/1081741

I call it a check vent, but it's purpose is to bring air in so the waste pipe drains properly.
As to the smell, do all your p-traps have water in them?

Unscrew the valve and rubber band a baggie or saran wrap over the end of the pipe. If smell goes away buy a new valve at Lowes.

We had this problem but under the kitchen sink. Was not pleasant until I figured it out.
