Blank Tank Odor/Filling & Microphor Toilet

[Mike Hohnstein]

Little Stanker is one of them little computer fans that keeps vacuum on the vent
pipe. The mfr. makes two versions, one type installs in series in the pipe, the
other replaces the vent pipe cover. That's probably the easier one to work
with. I got one on the toter home, solved a bad problem I had. I had the dry
trap experience when I removed the Spendid from the fifth wheel, whew, real bad.

Ok. I read about a vent fan called Lil Stanker. It is supposed to keep
positive pressure up the vent pipe to eliminate odors. I know nothing about it
except what I have read.
I thought maybe your washer/dryer trap may have been dry. I have the same
toilet without problems.
