Dear Fast Fred, thanks for your help. I will try keeping the "traps" and "wet spot" filled. The camper is in storage after a trip two weeks ago and we will be taking it out this weekend. I had not even thought of the sinks being part of the solution, but I think it's the toilet not being able to hold it's "water". I read in my manual for the motorhome that some household cleaners can do damage to the toilet "system". Is "lime away" one of those you've found "safe"? Appreciate your help already.

Poisoning the stuff in your black tank only raises the cost of camping , as the stuff that kills the smell ,also kills the septic field wherever you dump.
All campers get stuck in higher over night fees from this.
Its simple , sewage stinks, always will.
To not smell it you have water traps under the sinks and the wet spot in the toilet is the toilets seal.
After you dump , be sure to run 2 cups of water in any sink and
be sure to refill the tiolet bowl , another cup of water.
IF the toilet looses the "wet spot" its usually to calcium buildup from hard water , or paper build up from somone closing the seal with paper still moving.
Clean it out at the seal lip with a house hold product {limeaway or similar} and it should hold water.
IT MUST hold water not to stink.
If everything holds water , the toilet seal , and various J traps the coach will smell like.... well like NOTHING .
Just what we all want.
