Did a walk through of the RV and made a list of things that need replaced. But before I buy, I'm going to ask.

Do you now use inside the RV LED light bulbs and how's that working for ya?

Holding Tank Treatments. NuGen or Odorlos? Maybe something totally different. Why did you get what you did?

I'd really like to know. Just looking for help. Next off to check out where all my tools are and what went missing!

We use the Geo-method for our tanks. A bit of laundry detergent and powder Calgon and lots of water. Have had no problems or odors.

We use the same method and have no odors. I'm also a little anal about flushing both tanks and keeping them as clean as possible.

We replaced all our interior bulbs with LED's I purchased on eBay. The quality of light is much better and the reduced battery draw is a plus.

I don't put anything in the tanks. Replaced almost everything with LEDs a couple of seasons ago.

You use LED's if you need to conserve battery power or want to reduce the heat in the lamp. Be aware that regulated LED's will cause interference with your TV.

We use yellow bug lights mostly not leds. When my current batch burn out I may replace with yellow leds but not for now. $5,50 a pair on Amazon so that would be close to $25 for my RV Yellow Led link

Only water in the Black tank. We tried chemicals years ago but did not see a benefit.

With a good vent you should not get any odor up through the toilet.

We're in the process of changing to LEDs. We love them and they're doing well.

same as the other 2 posters- did the swap because the LED's are cooler and haven't used any treatment in the black tank for 3 years now- and won't anymore.

Replaced most of my inside lights with LEDs. Purchased them from Amazon. I did it because they run so much cooler. I use and don't use black tank treatment. I don't really notice any differance.

Swapped out the inside lights with LEDs. The light is not as harsh, fixtures stay cool, but not as bright. May just be the bulbs I used. Inexpensive ones bought off of eBay.

I don't use toilet chemicals, don't see the need.
