Toilet odour	Mark	8-26-01
I used the existing bus dump tank, but mounted a Thetford toilet onto the hole coming out of the bulkhead. I completely sealed the hole leaving only the 3 inch dump from the toilet into the tank. At highway speeds, the odour of the toilet comes up throughout the coach. What can I do to prevent this from happening?

As posted on the Mechanics section of THIS board: [ Mechanics Corner Coach Newsgroup ] 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. Also coach toilets were designed to be dumped at least daily , frequently more often. Be sure your tank has 1 1/2 or better 2 inch vent thru roof , to carry gasses away, other wise they have no place to go , but into the RV. This no a problem for the coach as the sewerage was not held long enough to cook and stink. Also coaches used huge amounts of chemicals for the few hours the stuff was in the coach. And usually emptied into a city sewer that could tolerate all that poison better. FAST FRED

I think there may be an overflow tube on the toilet that you may want to check also.
