Heads up for W/D ready coaches

Thought I would let everyone know what I discovered with my coach. I have a closet that can be used for a w/d combo and is wired and plumbed for them. The washer drain is tied into the vent pipe for the grey tank with a pee trap. Last couple of days after taking a shower I got a nasty sewer oder in the bedroom and after some inverstigating I found it was coming from the drain pipe for the washer. Apparently there must not have been any water in the trap to keep the odors out so I put a little bit of bleach in the trap along with some water to fill the trap to keep the odors from getting in.

So far so good no more odors and thought I would pass along what I found to those that have w/d ready closets. Might be a good idea to put a little water in the trap just incase.
