[MiramarTN]

I drained the black tank again and let the tank wash run for a good 5 minutes. I had not left the tank valves open. I won't swear it helped but it didn't seem quite as bad. I didn't see the bubble come up from the black tank as often.

I read on another thread about problems with right hand toilet like I have on my Miramar 34.2. It suggested the black tank is shallow and so I guess wide. The dump is on the left side of the MH and the toilet pipe appears to turn toward the left side of the MH so this sounds correct. That thread suggested pouring 5 gallons of water into the tank to help lubricate the system for flushing. I hear gurgling sounds coming from the toilet. I wonder is there is a clog in the pipe that is not allowing the waste to flush smoothly all of the way to the tank and my odor is coming from that clog.

I am home now and am going to get a bucket of water and try to flush the line to the tank. I will drive to the RV park down the street and do a final tank dump later today.

There were a few other items that popped up on the trip for a little more warranty work to be done. I will ask them about this as well.

Bob, I can see how your vent cap would develop a vacuum and help pull sewer gas while moving down the road but does it help while parked? I know Thor is promoting the 360 degree vent caps on the 2019 models and am thinking about having the dealership install while they are doing the warranty work.
