My Travel Trailer is at a seasonal (permanent) site as well. At our seasonal site, many folks complain of bad "stank" smell coming back up the toilet hole - when its toilet valve is open. To eliminate this bad smell problem, simply purchase / install a 12 volt fan that installs above the blank tank vent pipe. Before one does their business, simply turn the 35+CFM 12V fan ON. This creates a negative vacuum inside the blank tank. When the toilet valve is open, the air is immediately sucked down, across, up and out the top of the trailer's roof top vent pipe. After the toilet valve is closed, simply turn the 12V vent fan OFF. Or, leave it on LOW setting.

Note: With this product, simply install inside the wall and install its 12V OFF-LOW-HIGH 12V switch within the bathroom.
If into building your own product, simply get a 12V computer fan, install on the roof and install on a 12V OFF/ON fan. For a few pictures, surf: - click here -
Note: For best results, use computer fan that is 35+ CFM
After installing a 12V fan on my seasonal site's TT, NO MORE "stank" smell, no more chemicals and using a 12V manual switch, I can turn it off at night - when even the smallest sounds travel. One of the best DIY mods I've done to my TT.
Knowing what I know today and for my next RV, I would replace the low grade factory roof vent with - click here - If smell remained after this low cost upgrade, I would then install the 12V power vent within the bathroom wall cavity. re: - click here -
IMO, 35+ CFM 12V power vent should be mandatory on all RV toilets that don't use gooseneck piping (that traps the stank smell where it belongs.) NO chemicals costs pays for the cost of the power vent many times over…. Especially if one builds their own 12V Power vent using low cost 12V computer fan, 12V manual switch and ABS pipe fittings.
