Lil' Stanker

[Ryan Wright]

Thank you for the responses. Some questions:

1. How do I check the vent for a blockage?

2. What else could I do to find the source(s) of the smells? I don't
have a washer/dryer and I keep my p-traps full of water by regularly
using the sinks & shower. My toilet, however, does not hold water for
long - if I fill the bowl, it will be empty after a few hours. Should
I replace it? (Is this difficult? It's a straight-drop, not an air
toilet) If so, any recommendations on what type of toilet to buy?

3. If anyone has installed the in-line Lil' Stankers, I'd like to hear
more on where you put them / how you accessed the vent lines. I'd
prefer the in-lines over the roof mounts, but it looks like it would
be very difficult to install and service the in-lines.

Thank you!
