I've tried everything out there even the geo method. Nothing stops poop from stinking.

Wow this thread has gotten way out of hand, now I'm sorry I posted it. We don't get to use our camper very often and when it's not in use it is in an inside storage building. I use the chemicals in our tank to help prevent ANY CHANCH of nasty smells occurring and getting me kicked outside.

Thanks for this informative post.
Sewage is not in the RV tank long enough to be digested. It is a holding tank.
Water and lots of rinsing works well.

Typical RV.net.
The OP says:Heads up if you use Aqua-Kem
The thread is then filled by posters talking about why chemicals are not needed, as if the OP was torn about whether or not to use chemicals. :R

My point is you should NOT smell anything....poop/chemicals etc. unless something has failed.
Mechanical vapor barriers are designed into grey/black tanks and drain lines.
Understand what those vapor barriers are/how they work........fix them if not functioning correctly.
Just like a HOUSE.......vapor barriers stop odors. DO you use chemicals at home to mask drain line odors.
NO.....why not
House has water in toilet, toilet floor flange seal, 'P' traps, roof vents and some even use Air Admittance Valves and the drain lines are connected directly to sewer/septic systems w/o any valves in between so your neighbors poop could stink up your house but it doesn't.
Same as the RV. Gotta a smell...something is broken. Find it/Fix it.
Folks make RVng complicated when they aren't

. . . or ??
Before you start rooting around looking for something to fix, just dump some bleach down the black and/or gray tank.
No need for expensive deodorizers.
WHY so you can smell bleach....yuck!If it's a choice between bleach smell or sewage smell, I pick the former.
Choice should be no smell
Gotta a smell...something is broken. Find it/Fix it.Maybe. But before you get out the hammer and duct tape, shrink the stink with some bleach.
Fix the source of stink vs masking it
Folks make RVng complicated when they aren'tAnd some folks don't read very well.
Seems to be lack of comprehension vs reading ability
