I have a 2017 Fleetwood Bounder - Notice an odor in the rear of the unit inside. Nothing is wet inside. I noticed outside on the side where the grey/black release valve is located - it has a small drip of sewage. It is dripping from under the chassis, I am unable to tell if it is coming from a connection, but it is not the release valve. Any comments would be helpful, why would the smell be coming inside the unit if there are no leaks inside?
 
You might check the vent pipe that goes up through the roof. Sometimes animals build nests that block the vent causing odors to enter the inside.
 
Vent pipe connection to tank can also fail, causing both odors and potential leakage.
