I have noticed the same thing. The shower one is the most likely culprit. The sinks tend to get used but if the shower isn't, the trap can dry out and then there is a clear path for odors, especially if you are running the vent fan.</div><div><br></div><div>As for the sensors, I use a biological tank treatment. TankTech's Rx is one product. Unique Products RV Digest-It is another. Happy Camper makes one but I have not tried that one. The principle is to seed the tank with bacteria that will break down solids and break down the odor causing compounds instead of just masking them with a strong perfume like some non-biological products do. The side effect is that it can help with keeping the sensors working (gray tank) or helping so that when the black tank is emptied and flushed, the sensors may start reading again. That is, until it is used the next time and things slosh around as you are going down the road.<br></div>]]>

Septic has worked fine until last couple of days started noticing foul odor. Before I left Pensacola Fl emptied gray and black tanks . After arriving in Arkansas for a couple nights in Hot Springs noticed odor tank should be empty but gauge still shows 3/4 full.? Any idea what's wrong?]]>
