that is typically the reason for smelly hot water
Especially near the Coast. I have started draining the water system after each trip (even though I use the onboard tank most of the time and refill it when necessary).
I found after a trip if water sit on the coach for two weeks or more the hot South Texas the water really stinks. A couple days before we leave I move the coach to community's hose bib hook-up the water softener and fill the tanks and water heater with softened Edwards Aquifer water.
