There are also some good tips regarding toilets on page two of the General Discussion, and on page two of the Maintenance Discussion.  One even makes reference to the web site; www.Thetford.com.

If you are currently hooked up to a water and sewer/septic tank system full time, you probably need to shut off the holding tank drain valve.  If the drain valve is open the sewer/septic tank fumes will build up and exit up through the toilet, especially when flushed.  If I remember correctly there is no separate vent pipe from the holding tank on TMs like there are on other travel trailers.  We do not own a TM at this time, but are thinking about getting one. I assume you have checked and that the fuse on the toilet is working.  

Again thank you for all your suggestions, we have learned lots from this webs site.
