Although the vent improvements might help, for smells, let’s tackle the problem at the source.

We use the Happy Camper every time after we flush the black tank. It improves the breakdown and significantly reduces the odors imho. And prior to traveling, we dump, flush well with a high power garden hose down the toilet to break up any pyramids until the effluent is clear, then fill 1/4 to 1/3 with fresh water and let that slosh around during the trip.

For the gray tanks, prior to traveling we fill 1/4 to 1/3 with fresh water and add some cascade dishwasher detergent, which helps break down the greases and soap scums, and also smells nice. When we arrive at our destination, we dump the black, then dump the grays. Finally a few gallons of fresh in the black along with the happy camper, and all is well for the next week!
