Again, with all due respect, I don't understand why you won't even consider that there may be an alternative answer to this issue. Have you tried just using water and washing the inside of your tank when you travel?
We also live in Southern California with 115 degree summer temps and spend 5 months of the year in our motor home for the past 8 years with pretty much the same size of motor home. So I feel I'm pretty much in the same situation as you. I've had a pop-up trailer, 18' single axle trailer, 25' dual axle trailer, 35' DP motor home and our current 42' DP motor home. In all, I have only used water and nothing but water and have not experienced odor inside the rv except for one time with the 25' trailer when the toilet seal broke. However, I do "wash" out my black tank every time we travel and replace my drain hose every three years.
I and others here, are just trying to show you that there is a different possibility for you to explore. We are not trying to down play your beliefs or mock you in any way. Obviously, using just water will reduce the cost of tv'ing considerably.....just think how many $$ you've spent over the many years of tv'ing for odor masking chemicals. I bet it's a bunch.
So, like I said. Give it a try. I think you'll be surprised and pleased with the results

Ron its not like I would not consider the water solution suggested at all? I just found it was not working for me when as said I get about 2/3 full and its been warm out(80-90)If I have bath vent open and flush its stinks? what can I say ? so I use tank de odour and it works for me. People here asked about tank chemicals.I gave my brand and opinion.When people say Black tanks don't give odour I simply disagree that's all there is to it
