Either you need to inspect your diet or your camper. Your toilet has a water seal that prevents smells from coming back inside. Your tank has a vent tube that prevents gases from trying to find another avenue of escape. If you are getting smells, you've got problems. A properly working RV black tank system shouldn't smell. 10 years of camping, the only black tank smells are when someone forgets to turn off the Hengs vent fan while flushing. The fan creates enough pull to pull tank odors when the toilet drain is open.
