Tried many others, but always had odors. With Happy Camper no odors and the sensors are always good.

Suggest you at least try going without any chemicals. We have fulltimed for over 10 years and never, NEVER use any chemicals. We just hated the port-a-potty chemical smell. We have no problem at all with odors. Just make sure all the traps are in place and working.

I'll admit my stuff stinks, so I use what ever is on sale. The other reason I use chems is because I want it to break down as fast as possible since we only camp on weekends and dump every time afterwards.

Starting our 6th year fulltime 4-19 never used anything other than water, water and more water. Never any odors.

In the many years of RVing with several different rigs I have never smelt the need for chemicals. Just a good flushing when we dump does it for us. If you are smelling something in the coach I figure there is a vent leak or? To those who do use chemicals have you ever gone without and how did that work for you? I think part of the puzzle may be the climate you are camping in but again why are you smelling it? Great post. Thanks

We have always used Aqua-Kem and it has worked well. I only use it when I'm not able to empty the tank often. If we are traveling, I don't use anything, just water. If the coach will be sitting, I'll put about 8 oz's. in the tank. Most of the time, it will be there a month at the longest.

Our current coach only has ONE holding tank for grey and black (189 gallons). I actually find this setup to be the most logical as you need a lot of water in the black tank. Merging them together solves that problem and allow for more capacity.
