We had a new toilet installed now we have such an odor when flusing it isn't funny. It fills the whole motorhome with the smell. It smells more like sulphur then anything else. Please help. Thank You.

I would be having a serious conversation with whoever installed it. There should not be odors except a small amount possibly when flushing if everything is operating properly.

Are you in a campsite with sewer hook-up?

Is the black tank gate valve open?

If you answered "Yes" to both questions, close the gate valve until the tank is almost full, then open the valve for a few minutes to empty the tank, then close the valve.

Very possibly the vent pipe came loose and the smell is not ging up the pipe. Check th deal at the base of the toilet.
Tis another fine day to serve in and for the glory of the Corps. Every day is a holiday and every meal a feast.

Could it be the water? Have you changed locations?
