WE've used the blue stuff since 1972 (first rv with holding tanks).
After three truck campers in the '60s/'70s/ early '80s and three 5th wheel trailers since then its all we use. Water water water of course.
However as others we only use it when summer heats up and the black tank starts to stink.
WE dump when leaving a camp ground. Tanks are left open/caps off when home and sitting in the trailer shed. To keep daubers and critters out of the tanks I use aluminum screen wire.
I also use coconut oil to keep the valves lubed.
No smelly tank issues.
