When we bought our Winnie we got some horrible odors from the black tank and probably some from the gray tank. I repaired the biggest culprit, the worn flush ball valve seal and installed two new AAV's. They are mini-vents by Studor. Not cheap but work better than those $1.89 Camco things.
We're taking the 16 yo DGD to the beach next week and I'll dump every other day and see if I still get any odors when dumping. I inadvertently opened the flush valve yesterday while the exhaust fan was running, there was almost no odor. I think all the flushing and cleaning I did to the black tank was partly the reason it does not smell very strong.
