Here's and update. I made it three weeks until my tanks were full and needed dumping. I didn't let them get as full as last time but I definitely went a couple of days past when the tank meter said they were full.
I still noticed an odor once I started driving to the dump site, but not as bad as previously. It was definitely the grey tank. Usually I get the black tank smell while driving so I guess this is an improvement.
I checked under each sink and the air admittance valves seem to be doing there job now because the smell wasn't coming from there. I had drain plugs in the bathroom sink and shower, so I'm figuring it must have come up the kitchen sink drain.
I'm happy that I'm not getting black tank odor while driving anymore....even though I didn't do anything any differently so I don't know why it went away. And I'm glad the new air admittance valves are working better than the old ones. Next time I'll plug the kitchen sink drains and see if it improves.
