RV Travel podcast, the “odor episode”: propane primer, a black tank that doesn’t stink, that new-trailer smell
Episode 8 is our “odor episode”! Our noses go from propane, to black water, to that new trailer smell! We’re solving your problems, keeping you safe, and getting an in-depth look at a cool little trailer – tour conducted by the company founder!
Starting at 5:10 in the podcast, Bryan Cordill of the Propane Education & Research Council takes us to school on the stuff, from safety, do’s and don’ts, and best practices, to why it stinks … including do you really need to shut off your fridge when you’re traveling or refueling your rig? …
At 25:05 on the time code, YouTuber TR Bowlin shares his horror stories, experiments and solutions to rid your black tank of odor and residue. He contends there’s a better way than the one you’re likely using, and it will probably make your tank sensors more accurate. He offers a simple, step-by-step method to eliminate the problems caused by a “poo pyramid.” Hint: It’s all about oxygen and water.

TR Bowlin’s “oxygen” solution to black tank smell is interesting. And his basic physics of water and poop are fine. But his discussion completely ignores the fact that a properly plumbed and vented black tank DOES NOT SMELL. If your black tank is stinking up the inside of your RV, then you have a leaking fitting or a blocked vent. It’s as simple as that.
I really enjoyed the podcast, Scott. I was glad to find you on the RV Travel site. Its been a long time. Best wishes. Dan Varcoe
