For those that "claim" a perfectly working black tank will never smell, have genetically altered poop. A perfectly working black tank has to vent somewhere, if working perfectly it will vent outside through the vent stack. For those of us that sit outside while camping, if the wind goes the wrong direction it smells. A deodorizer helps with that downwind smell coming from the perfectly working vented black tank.
Thank you. X2!
I have had my days ruined parked next to an RV that emits stank. Add 90 degree weather to that and a black tank filled with sewage starts percolating and WILL smell.
Also those of you that use nothing......
when you flush the toilet there is NO pee trap like at home that keeps water between you and the sewage.
An RV toilet has a straight open pipe directly from the toilet to the tank.
Every time you flush with an untreated tank, that sewage odor and bacteria come right up into your RV.
It's a health issue not just a case of "i use nothing cause I do".
There really is a 'reason' black holding tank chemicals for Marine and RV were produced and have been around for years and years.
