STINK IN BATHROOM
Suddenly, I'm getting an odor from the black tank. Not overfilled. Also odor from vent cap and it is swarming with flies. Any ideas?

The air admittance valves in question will be under each sink in your rv and can be seen at the following link. They are available at most big box stores.

Do you have a black tank flush valve on your tank? If not, I would have one installed and use it regularly to help keep the tank clean. Be sure and buy a separate 25ft yard type hose to hook up for this purpose only and "not" the fresh water hose hooked to your rv.
