   Yea, it's a fair point. Our RP-171 is brand new, so no. I don't have any smell. I guess you can chalk my interest up to enthusiasm at having a new toy (the trailer,) and listening to my father who recommended it. I can only assume he, at one time, had a smell. Though he also has never owned an R-POD. 
We do intend to use the wet bath exclusively at camp sites. So that might push our usage up a bit more than most as I gather most people tend to try and avoid the use of the wet bath when possible. Part of the reason we purchased the trailer is to avoid public restrooms in the time of COVID. But still, we've got no smell to force the use of this vent right now.

Y'all are convincing me that I should probably just cool it and wait until I have a problem before I try and solve it.

	It 'rotes' 360 degrees, so it must be good, right?

	But why do it, are you getting a sewer smell? I don't see the benefit if not?

	I know this is a very old post, but I was just considering upgrading my factory mushroom vent to this same Camco Cyclone Sewer Vent on my new 2021 RP-171 and had the same questions/concerns. Did you end up doing this? Or has anyone ever used this vent on an R-POD? It was recommended to my by my father who's a long time RV owner. I'm specifically looking at this listing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SQ1K19A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

	2017 RP180. Has anyone replace the existing black sewer vent with a Camco Cyclone Sewer Vent? Just from initial looking at the factory vent, it is quite larger pipe than the Cyclone. Any advice greatley appreciated.
