What can you do about an intermittent septic odor in the bathroom if the wax rings have been replaced and there are no visible leaks?

The problem may not be from your toilet. the drains to your system all tie into the same place so you can get sewer gas from any of your fixtures. The first thing to check is if you have a floor drain. You would usually have one by the water heater. If so pour some water in it and see if that solves the problem. Mineral Oil can also be used in floor drains because it does not evaporate and keeps the p-trap sealed. Next all drain gas vents tie in to each other and exit through one stack on the roof. Odor from the roof vent pipe can be overpowering at times. Simply adding a carbon ventpipefilter.com can solve the problem overnight. I am no expert, but the plumber says the problem is a bad union that is not sealed all the way around on my main drain line. I have no leaks, but the gas can still escape from the top of the pipe, into the house.

An RV toilet is designed to be mounted over a holding tank. They use almost no water which at first might sound appealing, but unless you have a septic tank under your bathroom it would be bad news for home installation. Unless modified, an RV toilet would not be able to get the solid waste to your home septic system. A home toilet uses the force of the water to move the solid waste to your septic tank. Look for a low flush toilet or a composting toilet instead.
