If you are stationary for a week or so and have access to outside facilities, I would fill the tank and put in some rid-x or other stuff like it and let it set for several days.
If you are traveling, drain the tank as much as possible and then put several gallons of clean water back into it (using the toilet since your rinse is plugged up). Add to that water a cup or two of liquid laundry detergent and a 1/2 cup of Calgon water softener. Drive to you next destination and the sloshing motion of the rv will help remove stuff that has stuck to the walls of the tank (and sensors). At your destination, drain the tank and fill and drain again (hopefully the rinser will be working...if not use the toilet again) and drain once more. Add several gallons and use as you normally would.
If this hasn't corrected your problem, do it again the next time you travel. I do this EVERY time I travel and my tank works as design, sensors operate perfectly, and I never have any odors in the mh.
