Toilets DON'T have "P traps" The water on top of the valve keeps the smell in. Only drains have the traps. That's why your household commode has the water I it. JMHO
It's not the water that keeps the smell in on an RV toilet. It is the seal on the valve that does that. Water standing in the RV toilet is only there because the rubber seal won't allow it to go by. Residential toilets do have traps -- just not p-traps -- they are s-traps.
I don't know of any RV toilets with traps.
