We were having problems with black tank odors on our last outing. It turned out we had a large paper wasp nest blocking off most of the vent on the roof.
The black tank system is pretty simple, the toilet is the only thing connected on the input side, the drain is on the other side, and the vent pipe connects to the top of the tank and runs up to the roof. Make sure you leave some water in the toilet bowl to form a seal, check the roof vent for an obstruction. If the drain valve is failing you're going to have sewer running out on the ground.
