Had a sewer 'gas problem' on last trip for first time, nothing to do with toilet. Wife came running out of bathroom, dry heaving, said when she flushed toilet, horrible gasses came up. Of course, I thought she was being overly dramatic, but as she was explaining, it reached me, and I started dry heaving and had to run out of trailer it was so awful.
Even though black tank was not full, I dumped it anyway, followed by thorough flushing with built in black tank flush. I followed up by pouring liquid citrus tank treatment in from Walmart, but double checked label this time. It said to dump tank at least weekly, and if temps get above 85F, to double the tank treatment.
Well, it had been well over 85 for days, and maybe 5 days without dumping, and I missed doubling the treatment in hot weather. Lesson learned, no problem since. Oh, and we now turn off exhaust fan when flushing.
