First of all just so you know, there should NEVER be ANY smell coming from the tanks.
Did the people you bought this trailer from have it parked permanently in a park?
If so, some leave the black tank valve open all the time and there is not enough water to move the sewage out and it creates what we all call "a mountain of poop" in your black tank.
I hope for you that this is not the case.
For the quick fix until you can get out to a CG is fill up several gallon water jugs and schlep them out to your RV and pour them down into your black tank and add this:
Be sure to read the label and that it says powerful odor control. There are 2 kinds on the shelf and look alike but the one marked natural doesn't do squat. Find at any Walmart.
I'd put 2 bottles of it in. This stuff actually 'Break down Waste' others do not. I use this stuff regularly.
For the gray tank put a gallon of water and any quart size liquid lemon cleaner from the grocery store.
Pour water down all sinks and the shower AND.....put water in the bowl of toilet when done. P-traps Need to be filled and toilet with water to create a seal just like in you home.
THAT should get you to the CG without you and the DW gagging!
Good luck. Once you get over this oops you should be fine.
Don't forget the

I'm just North of Memphis. We've camped at LBL before at Energy Lake. It was nice, but if we go back, we will camp at the bigger cg's.
Our power went out at 8 last night and still not back on. I brought the kids over to my inlaws b/c they have electronics,lol. I'd be fine with no power, but my heatherns are a different story,lol

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.
