Chemicals are also not really needed as they just make the stuff smell like perfumed poop.
Except for an occasional sniff when flushing (just like a regular toilet) you should have NO odors from your holding tanks inside the RV.
Waste tanks have vent lines, have seals on lines to/from tank and other means of 'vapor barriers' to keep odors out of rig (toilet bowl holding water---vapor barrier; 'P' traps holding water---vapor barrier; toilet floor flange---mechanical barrier; Air Admittance Valves---mechanical barrier).
Use chemicals, enzymes, odor controls etc if you want..they aren't going to hurt anything but they are not necessary.
Use of water is all that is really needed.
