Hi All!
I have a question about how the toilet is plumbed to the black tank in my 2020 Springdale SG280bh. I just replaced my toilet (Dometic 300) and when I removed the old one, I was expecting a straight pipe to the black tank and an odor. Instead, there was NO smell whatsoever and some standing water about a foot down from the toilet.

I *know* the tank was empty when we last went camping, although the meter shows half full.

So my question is there a p-trap between the toilet and the black tank or is it just a poop mountain that needs to be dealt with?

When I dump the tank, everything seems to flow out fine and I ALWAYS use the tank sprayer for several minutes until I don't see any more material coming out.

Thanks!
Bob
