You most definitely will experience an odor when you flush the toilet, but if you do it quickly and don't have the overhead fan on, that odor should be minimal and dissipate quickly
I must be the luckiest person in the world, but I don't even get that. No matter how long I flush, fan on, high temps, no smell. Doesn't matter how long it's sitting in my drive way. I "camp" every Friday night with the kids at home and use the toilet. Could be sitting for weeks or months before dumping.
This is the only RV I ever had, so I guess I got lucky that my sewer system is good. I'm very anal about tank rinsing, so maybe I'm causing my own success. The sewer system was the part I dreaded most when learning to RV, but it ended up being such a non-issue.
I believe the people that say they use just water and get no smells, though I've never tried it. I use the GEO method mostly because it keeps my sensors working. I use an enzyme product if I know that the trailer won't be used for awhile. If I was full-timing, or on a site for weeks, I wouldn't care about the sensors.
Months before dumping with no smell? I dunno about that
In the hot summer months, I'll check the water level and add some if it's looking low to make sure it doesn't solidify. As mentioned, when sitting a long time, I'll add an enzyme to break things down. No issues.
