We used AquaChem for 30 years because my poop does smell and the tank will have odors during hot weather or long dump intervals. I recently tried Happy Camper and found it easy to use and worked to keep odors down.
Many who have towable RV's may never have tank odor issues, but often motor homes, can have an issue when a toilet is flushed while driving. I don't care who you are, your stuff smells, but since there are a variety of RV types and toilet types, some will produce odors and some won't.
Don, of course your poop smells when it's NOT in the black tank! I don't think anyone said that it didn't. The issue here is about the smell from a properly working black tank. When it is vented and seals in the toilet and drain gates are in good shape, there should not EVER be any odor coming from it. If it does, something is wrong and needs to be repaired. Just throwing in chemicals to mask the odor is not fixing it.
I'm with others....plain ol water will work just fine. Spending hundreds of dollars on tank chemicals is just throwing your money down that toilet into the black tank. :S
I've had two motor homes, three trailers, and none of them have had black tank odors...even full and during hot weather. However, I do agree, when I dump a load into the toilet...boy does it ever stink! :B

We agree with Don. We use Aqua Chem. Problem fixed. Venting efficiency is not the same on many RVs.
