Odor - Thedford Aria Deluxe
The flush valve on my Thedford Aria Deluxe failed a couple of years ago and I replaced it myself. Lately I have been getting odor in the bath, especially when a ceiling vent in ANOTHER PART of the RV...

Some Thetford toilets had a "vent." Just why I don't know, but it bypassed the blade seal and opens to the tank. At first I didn't think ours (that cheap AquaMagic IV) had one, but it did, and I sealed it up with caulk when I had it off. Thetford will make that suggestion. Oddly, cheesy as that AM-IV is, it holds water in the bowl a LONG time.
I think others are referring to a venting device on the vanity sink plumbing. If yours has one, there'll be a vertical stub of pipe with a gizmo threaded onto the top. The rubber flapper in it could have rotted out. Also, be sure your Dump Valves are closed if you're connected to a sewer line. I forgot to close Gray after dumping and before long the whole coach stank!
