RV TOILET ODOR
If inside:
If this occurs while camping, remember to always leave water in the toilet. Sometimes the bowl seal will leak air into the RV. Keeping water in the toilet will seal the air - after flushing run a little water back into the toilet.
When leaving and after dumping add 3-5 gallons of water and a packet/bottle of chemicals thru your toilet to the black tank. This will create a strong solution and will work all the time while driving to clean the tank.
Pour a little bleach and/or baking soda down all drains (sinks and shower/tub) - these too will provide undesireable smells. Use a little extra here. This will assist in the gray tank cleaning.
Outside:
Make sure your fittings are tight on the RV.
Also, with all the variations of campground sewer holes some fittings work better than others for each type. We always use the foam ring wedge then put a board/rock on top to keep in place.
One more thing...take a look around at other rvs. They may be what is sending the undesireable smell. We had an incident where a rig next to us was dripping from the sewer - we informed him nicely and he immediately fixed the problem. All was well.
