On our Microphor LF-220, the Korky gasket seals much better than any of the wax rings I've tried on it over the years and it isn't affected by extreme temperature changes like the wax rings were. Plus... it fit like it was made for my LF-220: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Korky-Rubbe...ersal/50150240

My 82 had the stench when driving and such. I found by the shower drain under coach a vent came loose off the drain and while driving wind would make the order. Fixed the pipe. And problem solved. Worth a look

Have a smoke test performed on your coach.
With empty tanks and the tank valves open, they inject lots of chemical smoke into the tank opening. If your system is good, all of the smoke goes out through the roof vents. If there is a problem, the smoke will be visible inside the coach. If the trap is dry on the washer or any sink or if the one way vent valve is suck open, you will see the smoke. Now here is the story. Back a few years ago, I was living in my coach in Louisville, KY, and working claims from a large hail storm. The coach was hooked up with the black tank valve open and the flex hose in the sewer dump. As I returned to the coach the entire neighborhood appeared to be on fire. There was smoke exiting the vent pipes on every house on every block, for as far as I could see. My weak mind could not grasp what it was seeing. What the heck is going on? When I entered the RV park, smoke was pouring out of the sewer vents pipes on the roof of nearly every RV in the park. When I checked inside mine, there was smoke coming from behind the unused washing machine. About that time the camp ground owner stuck his head in the door and explained that all was good and not to worry. Seems like the city runs a sewer smoke test occasionally in the neighborhood around the Ohio River. They are looking for broken underground pipes and illegal sewer connections. I ran the washer through a cycle, which filled the trap, and I have not notice any smell since that time. Some plumbers have the tools to do this test.

But never plumbing! Great story,and a good way to find leaks. Make a smoke machine that goes onto your dump pipe and away you go. a small metal bucket with a lid,put some pot,errr,pine straw in the bucket and a few vent holes and a hole in the lid for the dump hose and you have a smoke machine. Or,a sewer bong!
