Sewage smell, also how do you clean your tanks?

I have a pretty bad sewer smell in my RV, nothing we've ever had before. I thought maybe I needed to dump so I dumped the tanks, put new chemical in, everything is just about empty but it still stinks...

The AAV is a component of the gray water system. The gray water system is completely separate from the black water system. So, how can a plugged black water vent "kill" a component on the gray water system?

I've read, in other posts, that this can happen, but I don't see how it's possible.

My bathroom sink drains into the black tank, so its AAV is a component of the black water system.
