Bathroom smell ... no, not that.
We've got a strange smell in the bathroom of our new-to-us 2000-year truck camper; I've searched the archives and can't find anyone complaining of quite what we've got, perhaps someone's got some idea...

Lots of good information here. Very very very new to all of this. My 3rd trip in a travel trailer was with one I just bought. 2008 Everything but the electric water heater worked well. I put on the propane water heater, Yay, a hot shower. Now with all of this, we did use the toilet and I noticed we filled up the grey water tank. This trailer had been used very rarely but when I used it, no smells.
Got home after a very bumpy ride, and boy oh boy, eyes watered from smell. I opened up windows and put on the bathroom fan. It barely did anything while I unloaded. I emptied the grey tank in the morning, and opened up the trailer, whew finally smell went away. Back again after driving it home from a 5 minute commute from work. Took it up to empty the black tank and rinsed the heck out of it from the toilet, until I saw clear water thru the hose. Put in the blue and some water, thought I had it licked...nope.
Bought me and now I'm waiting for one of those turbo vents to replace regular vent up on top of the travel trailer but still thinking there is something else going on.
I will try the garbage bag trick to see about that. I will put some bleach down the grey tank thru the sink and shower holes.
Before I go up on the roof to replace the vent....are the turbo vents a gimmick or do they work?
