My toilet burps....
Not every time, but often enough to be a concern. What's the cause, & how do I fix it?

Full/near full black tank..........time to dump
Not anywhere near being full.....
1) Vent to roof is obstructed
2) Vent line has fallen down too far inside tank
3) Pop Pyramid is building up under toilet line
#1 & #2.....some one needs to go up on roof, locate vent for black tank, remove vent cap.
Then check if top of vent line is at/near roof line or has fallen down below roof line.
If dropped grab with pliers/vise grips etc and see if line can be pulled back up. Secure with couple of screws thru side of pipe into roof structure (unless vent line is accessible elsewhere.....then strap it)
At/near then vent line hasn't dropped down into tank and may be obstructed.
To clear....
Check for any debris that can be removed (birds nest etc) and then stick a garden hose with nozzle on end down into vent line several feet, then with
black tank drain valve open turn on water and blast down into vent line until line is clear and free flowing.
#3.poop pyramid
Garden hose with nozzle down thru toilet blasting away with tank drain valve open (if toilet sits directly over tank and line is short shine a flashlight down into tank and inspect)
