We keep a toilet brush right next to the toilet and every time it gets used, the toilet gets brushed out. It's always clean! This is the emphatic rule in our camper. Do it or die! No exceptions!
With that said, the bowl is always clean, no smells. And any "liquids" spilled get wiped up immediately. If YOU made the mess.... YOU clean it up! Even my 4 year old grand daughter is required to brush it out when with us!
Second. If you dump your black tank regularly, you won't have smells coming from the black tank. The worse offender is pushing the peddle and the odor from the toilet hole comes permeating upward!
We keep a bottle of Dawn Dishwashing liquid in the camper all the time. After dumping the black tank, I pour about 2 inches from the bottle into the black tank. Yea! This REALLY does keep odors down.
If traveling, put a few gallons of water in the black tank and a couple inches of Dawn. It will clean the tank real nice. No need for any kind of deodorizers or anything.
If you are not traveling, fill the tank completely with water, till it comes up in the neck of the toilet. Then dump. This will clean everything out, but does take a lot of water.
