One thing I did notice from a number of posts was that if these systems are operating properly there should be no odor as they are vented. I agree to a point. However, this weekend while trying the new happy camper I think I figured out why (not miraculous for sure) many get a whiff out of the tank.
Its hot out. The black tank gets hot. The ingredients are doing their thing waiting to be dumped. You finish your business and flush. Next thing ya know, you get a blast of this most awful smell, so thick you can chew it. Here's the reason...Your automatic fan is on and set so high that its draft pulls the odor back into the bathroom.
Again not a miraculous discovery, but I laughed like heck when it happened this weekend to me and I realized that because of this thread I was paying more attention because of what I read.
I really want to thank everyone on here for all the contributions of information...Even the stinky ones!!!

LOL, you are correct! I recently installed a new MaxxAir model 7500K fan in our bathroom and now the wife makes me “turn off” the fan when I am doing my business ��. That new fan moves a whole lot more air (and odor) than the stock Fan-Tastic one ever did.
