Does the toilet hold water in bowl?
If not toilet bowl seal is leaking......it should hold water to provide a 'vapor barrier' because rv toilets don't have built in 'p' traps like residential toilets do.
Dry bowl.......black tank smells can come inside via toilet.
Clean seal & ball valve really clean top/sides/bottom) using your hand and soapy water. This means having toilet valve open while you clean seal/ball valve
so turn rig water supply off until done.
Then after thoroughly clean--rinse and pat dry then using your hands coat seal completely with olive oil to make it flexible.
Then turn on water supply and puts some water in toilet bowl.
It should hold water.....if it leaks out----replace seal.
No water in bowl----you will always smell black tank
