1. bad AAV
2. toilet not holding water after flush
3. sink or shower trap empty
4. bad seal between toilet and floor
5. blocked/dropped holding tank vent
(Over the past 10 years, I have personally had all except #2, pun, pun, and #3)
Be sure to check these for the gray tank too. It smells just as bad as the black tank.
If the plumbing system is working as designed, no "deodorizers" are needed. No plumbing smells will get into the RV (except when you open the toilet's seal to flush it with the exhaust fan running). If the plumbing system is NOT working as designed, no "deodorizers" will work.
