Your bathroom sink dumps right in to the BLACK tank. When running water, you have opened the drain for fumes to pass from the black tank up though the plumbing line and in to your bathroom. These fumes will not be present when the trap is full of water but when water is running, like while brushing your teeth or washing your hands, the P-trap is open due to the water flow. As soon as the water is turned off, the seal is once again complete.
If this is true of ANY new design then I have another reason for making my old one last!
