Can't find anywhere what the list of ingredients are- Not on their website, google search, nothing. (material safety data sheet) Happy Campers consists of Zinc salts and unnamed materials.

Curious why they don't tell you what those micro nutrients are. I'm always cautious of products labelled as "organic" and "natural" as those claims are not really regulated and are used a lot in marketing and further cautious when it's really hard to find out what's actually in it.

Good point. How many other treatment chemicals publish their material data sheets? Has Coke ever published a list of their ingredients?

I use TSP max Our rig is parked out front 24/7 we're in the midst of a remodel so one bathroom is down. The Toy Hauler restroom has been used quite a bit and no smell over a month.

If your connections are sealed properly, this shouldn't be an issue. But I get that a lot of people don't do things the way they are supposed to.

There's always a vent nearby, especially at dump stations, so no matter how tight the sewer connection is, the sudden influx of that much volume can force gasses out of them.
Of course, these are also the same cheap guys who wont replace a hose that only leaks "slightly" and even a little spillage reeks.

My Trek friends tipped me off to Happy Campers a few years ago and I've been using it ever since with excellent results. I put one scoop in the toilet and use my bowl mop to clean the toilet (and up under the ring) to keep the bowl sparkly and odor free, then flush. I put another scoop in the sink to swish it around to make sure it completely dissolves before releasing it to the tank. My Trek came with a black tank flush system and I added a diverter valve along with a flush spray for the greywater tank.

We were full time seasonal last summer. Using Happy Camper, we could go 9 days before the toilet started to smell. The Geo Method and TankTechsRX are other options.

I think it would be more helpful if the OP described when and where the odor is coming from if possible. :h

Plain water. If you use enough water and flush your tanks, you don't need any chemicals. The length of time any solids are in your tank isn't nearly long enough for any enzymes to really do anything and they just end up in the recipients' septic system. Been using plain water for the past 7 years and never had an issue. I did install back flush systems on both grey and black and I can say it makes things much easier.

If you're getting odors, it more likely a venting problem.
