If it's none of the above and you have a washer/dryer unit in the rig, check the washer/dryer gaskets. A long shot, but worth a shot if all else fails..

Looks like it is going to be the charging system.

I presume your getting this smell with the unit stationary?

You could also check the cheater valves off the traps in the cabinets under the sinks. These are generally not vented to the outside. The smell would probably be more noticeable when you open these cabinet doors.

I had this problem but it was mostly when we under way and moving. New cheater valves or only about $7

Second the battery, The only time I have had a real "Sewer gas" problem I'd forgotten to close the dump valves. Many leave the gray tank open, bad idea.

I had the same problem last winter. The smell would go away while driving but after awhile while plugged in to shore power it was back. Spent a lot of time on cleaning out both holding tanks, at least they were spotless. Then I found the problem, it was one of my batteries, the way I found it was, after plugged it to shore power for a while I could smell it again, so I went outside and went to the compartment where the batteries are and as soon as I opened it the smell was stronger. I placed my hand on the sides/ends of each battery until I found one that was way warmer then the others. It had a dead cell. Replaced both chassis batteries and smell gone. And yes it did set the propane detector off.

Here's a tip for pet owners, a dog passing gas will set the propane detector off.
