Located roof vents no visible blockage and minimal odor!
I’m inclined to think vent pipe extends into holding tank to far!
Odor gets stronger as tank fills!
I totally agree on this one. The pipe is installed to deep into the tank OR has slipped down. Do you notice this with the black OR grey tank. Mine uses one vent stack joined by a tee so only one vent on the roof. One way you can determine if you have a venting problem is to get on the roof, place a single ply tissue over around the vent (or stick your nose around the vent to smell for odor) and then have someone flush the toilet as well as pulling the drain plug on a partially filled sink. A properly vented tank will expel air from the vent pipe on the roof.
I was having this problem on my rig and I fixed it myself. The key is being able to get to the top of the tank which I was able to do fairly easily.
