When do you empty black tank on hookup?
Evenings, mornings, twice a day, every 2 days, - or just leave the shutter to sewer permanently open? Sewer is prehistorical, Mexican style - hole in the ground with cement lid. As I see it - leav...

One person in a trailer. It will be weekS before I empty it when full. Brewing and smelling into trailer through the bowl all this time. 77-80 in November-December, this brewery just loves it when it's warm.
Emptying when 3/4 - maybe. It could still be a week or more.
Yes, grey tank is always open, this is not a problem.
There should be NO odors coming thru toilet bowl. Water should be staying in bowl which provides a vapor barrier
Grey being open all the time could very well be your odors issue.
Under bathroom sink is probably an Air Admittance Valve (allows air into sink drain line so 'P' trap doesn't get sucked dry)
Most are cheap flapper style that fatigues and then stays open....that allows grey tank stink back into RV
Grey drain valve always open allow liquids to flow out as they flow in so debris/stuff (body oils, hair, sloughed skin, cooking greases/oils, food particles etc) gets left behind-accumulates, dries out and STINKS
Drain WASTE tanks when FULL for that WHOOSH affect.
Water is heavy and the volume carries 'stuff' out
A fast moving river can move boulders
A slow trickle in a creek can't even budge a pepple
