I have the Dometic 300 and it is less than a year old. It has a urine smell all the time, no matter how well we clean it. I ran up on some information on a past recall of 300's where the inner seal lets water come from inside the bowl to the outer bowl and settles there until it evaporates, and makes the odors.
that being said, I reached out to Dometic today on warranty and await a response. the recall is over according to what I understand (my unit has to be newer than the affected units) even though I have the same issue. I can remove my toilet, tip it on the side, and the stale water will come out around the bowl seam.
I am considering just opening the toilet up and doing the silicone repair I seen online where the gaskets are re-used and just silicone in to prevent the leak.
any thoughts? I know I can return the camper to Heartland and they should take care of it, but I don't want to be without it right now during prime camping season and I have places booked already.
I hope this isn't already covered somewhere, but I didn't see it.
