In my camper there is no trap for the shower/tub, it flows straight to the tank. there is also no roof vent. I use the same stuff that is for the black tank.
I don't have odor in the black tank, as I don't allow the toilet to be used.
Really? No trap and no vent!!! :E I have never seen or heard of this before....seems to me that this would be NOT GOOD!
Don't use the toilet? :h Why do you have it then? I've heard others say the same thing and I just can't understand the reasoning behind it. To each his own...I suppose.
As for chemicals in the gray... I'm with others on this. The dish soap that is in there should take care of any odors as long as you use plenty of water to flush everything out when you drain the tank. However, if indeed this doesn't help, then I would probably put a few gallons of water in the tank and add a couple cups of Pine Sol and drive to the next campground with that solution sloshing around.
Good luck...stinky tanks is not fun.
