If the toilet still works than this vent modification is excellent for any odor issues.

My Aqua Magic is dated 1990. Does anyone think it is a good idea to
rebuild it vs. buying a newer unit?
Which units keep the smell away best? Thanks Skip Simpson

That is interesting my wife used to use that thing with a close pin on her nose. She never minded using out houses too much but since I replaced it with a new china bowl std. type she wants no part of the outhouses.

My first year with the GMC had some oder problems with the Toilet. I found keeping a positive pressure in the GMC kept the oder at bay.
I have toyed with the idea of putting a fan either by the HWH cabinet and pipe it to the roof or pipe it to the roof and put a fan on the roof.
I have not moved forward with this because I have not used it for awhile, finding the rest areas and Disneys comfort stations quite acceptable.

The other day I ws sorting out the laundry and some white
breath mints rolled out. One of them had some numbers on
it. It read, "2376-185." I asked my son if it was important.
He said, "It's either check No. 2376 for $1.85 or check
No. 185 for $23.76." Then he shrugged and popped
it in his mouth.

Hey;
Remember that the shower also drains to the black tank. If one
doesn't use the shower and if one doesn't fill the shower J-trap after
a period of non-use, then the smell can be coming from the J-trap if
the water has evaporated. We had this happen and now I always fill the
J-traps before we leave on a trip.

Gary,
I pour RV antifreeze in the bathroom trap which doesn't evaporate and lasts for a long time if you don't use the shower. I do this in the fall and in all the traps when I am winterizing the coach.

Very true, and probably more common that people realize. Mine haden't been used in years, and the first warm day I had it out.... wow. Since everything else seemed fine, I just put some water down the shower drain, and the bathroom has smelled perfect ever since.
I love the idea of pouring in something that won't evaporate easily, if the shower will not be used for extended periods.

""Isn't shower water normally considered gray water?
""
It is unless you have a GM upfitted coach that only has a black tank that holds everything. Some folks here have figured out a way around that, but sometimes that inflames others on the net.

""Why would that happen?
"" I can't explain the why part, but it involves letting grey water fall on the earth and some people don't like that apparently.

That stuff isn't exactly people friendly either - I ended up with
formaldehyde poisoning my senior year in high school, when as a Teachers
Assistant, I was tasked with refilling **all** of the biology specimen jars
in the science dept. and wasn't given any protective gear.

Greg,
Quite a few of the black tank de-stinkers use formaldehyde or other
chemicals that are not environmentally friendly.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the EPA allow for simple
bioremediation of gray water, rather than full sanitary disposal?

All I've used in our black water tank for years is "Rid-X". A few
tablespoons full (whatever I happen to dump out of the box) into the
toilet after every few dumpings, especially if accompanied with a
rinsing, is sufficient to stimulate the bacteria to eliminate the
odor. We have an odor problem only if I don't dump soon enough and
the standpipe begins to fill.
