Please don't laugh , but my toilet in our new to us 06 Hornet stinks to holy hell! We can't hook it up to water to flush it out until we take our first trip in a few weeks. I was wondering if I could sprinkle a little baking soda just around the rim of the toilet or a little in the tank. IDK what the previous owners used to help with the smell, but I got a good reccomendation on the pod things from an older camper pro at my local Walmart. I'll be buying them for this summer. If I can't put baking soda in it, can I put some plain white vinegar? I'm new to ownership, so please don't laugh. I just want the funk smell gone. I know to expect some, but its kinda bad! Thanks.
If it stinks as bad as you say I HIGHLY DOUBT just baking soda is going to help ... it's just not strong enough. IMO there can be two main causes of the odor from especially the black tank ... One is not enough water to keep things submerged and diluted and two having solids STICK to the walls if you have towed with contents in the black tank. Both these potential sources can be mitigated by using enough water for flushes and using the geo method that helps keep thing "SLICK AND CLEAN" for lack of better words. I use the liquid CALGON and using the measuring top from the CALGON put a cap full of it and a cap full of the cheapest liquid dish soap I can find in the black tank after each dumping.
