Weird Smell in Mobile Home?

It's not something I can identify. It is nothing I've ever smelled before. I live in a single wide trailer, you know, the generic, run of the mill kind, they used to make back in the day. The kind with ugly brown shutters. I keep getting this odd smell that isn't something dead or rotten. It doesn't smell like must or mold. It doesn't smell like gas or a chemical. I don't know what it is. I'm not even sure how to describe it. It reminds me of microwaved chicken nuggets that aren't quite right. It has a sour quality to it, and perhaps a hint of bad breath. Weird, I know. It doesn't smell bad per say, more that I just can't stand the smell. My husband doesn't seem to notice. The trailer we rented before this one was a few lots down in the same trailer park and I smelled it there too. I notice it indoors more than outdoors. I thought maybe it was the soil (we have a natural spring that runs under the yards) or something in the walls. I feel like I'm going crazy and I don't know what it is, where it's coming from, what to do about it, or if I'm even really smelling it (I am.) Before we moved into this trailer park I never smelled anything similar before. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

You may have rotting vegetation under your mobile home. Clear it out and see if things improve.

Did you get this resolved? I ask because we just went through this with our kitchen sink. A weird smell. Turned out, I had a sinus infection and it was just me smelling it. My husband never smelled it and it was so frustrating. You said it doesn't bother your husband, but does he smell it. My first hint with my issue was he didn't smell it. I thought I was going nuts!

10 days of antibiotic later, no more smell. It was me all the time. It also explained the headache I had for the week I kept smelling it--I thought the smell was CAUSING the headache..turns out...it was a symptom from it. The doc said that what I was smelling was basically infected mucus. Sorry for the TMI. I know EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! That was how I felt, but I am better now!

It maybe build up in your sink drain or a water leak. Does it smell like mildew? Place bowls over the sink drain to see if the smell lessons. If that helps replace the trap pipe ( pipe with curve). You'd be surprised at how nasty them pipe can get!.

You could use a snake to remove the build up but putting in a new pipe is better. Place DampRid around your home if it's a mildew smell. Have someone cool seal the roof or patch the leaks.
