Tank treatment
I was using a treatment that worked perfectly for me. "Natural Zyme" that came in packets of tablets. I put a tablet in water for 15-20 minutes then poured it into a tank. One for black, one for grey, worked great with all enzymes, no chemicals or perfumes. My wife was happy with no odors that we had with other treatments. The problem is the company that made it stopped producing it. My question, is there a similar product available and if so what is it and where do I get it ?

We are using a very similar product called Happy Camper. It sounds like what you are using. Here's the link

We've never used Natural Zyme. We've found Happy Campers to be the best product out there.

Hi !  Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang! 
Go with Happy Camper treatment! It is totally safe, in fact you can eat it without harm! Just Google it for the best price!
Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

Tank treatment
Thank's for the help I have been getting. Everyone seams to be going with Happy Camper, so I ordered a small container to try. I have one concern Nature Zyme mixed with eight ounces of water, letting it stand for 15-20 minutes and poured it into tank. I never had any problems at all. Now Happy Camper is to be mixed with one gallon of water and stirred before pouring into tank. So why does it require that much water. It appears to me this is taking away one gallon of my tank usage capacity ? What have those of you who have been using this product experienced and do you mix 100% by instructions ? I should have mentioned that I have downsized to a Class-C Sunseeker with small holding tanks.

I have never heard of mixing it with a gallon of water. I just run a little water in the toilet, mix the treatment thoroughly with the cleaning brush, and flush it. I can't see any reason to use a lot of water!

Once I stopped using any additives the smell went away. Takes a while to get them out; give it time. My wife has a very sensitive nose and no problem. Quit using additives several years ago.

Agree. You should not be getting any odor from the black or gray tanks, whether or not use are using an additive. If you need an additive to mask the odor, you have a problem with that tank or the venting system. Lots of water is all you need.

Tank Treatments
Has anyone tried " TankTechs-RX " ? I've watched a lot of video on Utube but don't know if it's as good as it says.

"Oldlionel".....I know the instructions say to mix with water, but I don't do it. I fill the toilet with water, pour in a cap and flush. It works fine that way.
