I will have to pull out both under sink drawers to take a closer look...maybe today. Anyway, the source right now is not AAVs from what I can tell.
Edit; pulled both drawers and stuck my head in there...found it.Last edited by Grandesigner; 04-30-2022 at 01:21 PM.

Are you remembering to turn off the fan BEFORE you flush? I even close the roof vent since a fair breeze will "siphon' air up out of the black tank when the "ball is dropped. "

I guess anything is possible after 30 years of doing this, lol
The thing is, before the eco friendly black tank solution, I don't recall having this problem...Dan and Rita

So mebbe the "new to you" blank tank solution is leaving some "debris" behind? I know that some folks have reported that when they used the Geo-method they started experiencing foul odors, especially during and after the dumping process. At least one person switched to "Happy Campers" brand and now they swear by it.
I'm very interested in how you (HOPEFULLY) finally resolve this.Pam and Doug

Had same issues even burping…tried various things. Even called GD. …
Finally decided I had TP stuck in vent tube.
Filled all tanks to absolute max
Pulled all valves at same time…hopefully to suck paper out.
Must have worked…no more stink

Use Banana oil. That is what the Army uses show effectiveness of protective (think gas) masks. It won't harm the system.

I have a new 2023 367 BHS and we have a similar issue but only when the tank fills up to the 2/3 level. At that point we go from no smell to strong spell in a single flush. I "believe" the issue is that the vent pipe that is connected to the tank that connects with the other tanks and goes to the roof vent extends too far into the black tank and once the liquid level in the tank gets high enough the opening of the pipe is submerged and the gas vents into the rig when the flush valve is cycled. Once I drain the tank below the 2/3 level smell goes away. Any other ideas on what could be causing this intermittent issue?
