2010 RPod 171 Smell? - Event Date: 13 Aug 2014 - 01 Aug 2015

I'm convinced the smell is out gassing from the materials used in the camper. A little ventilation cures it. A recent post in which a member was selling his/her pod mentioned the "new camper smell" and that one was several years old.

Can't be very healthy but can be handled with ventilation.

"Eco"? I don't think so.

It has a green label at the entrance and on the side it read eco-constructed. Is that what you are looking for?

Yes, a green camper. We had returned it to storage Monday and stopped in earlier today. So it appears ventilation is the answer. Just glad we have a secure place for it. Can't build any thing on our lot since we don't have the space. If you are keeping it at home, I think I would invest in having a Max-Air roof vent installed. We had them when we had motor homes, and it can't rain inside and kept the heat build-up to a minimum. I also use foil window shades on all windows. Hope this helps.

We have been fighting a smell since August 2011 when we purchased our used 2011 182G. We keep it in a storage facility for boats and rvs. The building had a dirt floor and recently was paved in concrete. We were advised by the owner to leave the windows and door open since it was in a locked space and maybe it was a situation of needing ventilation. We have done that and 7 days later we stopped in and the only smell is the room freshener linen. So we are thinking keeping it closed up creates the smell since we don't notice the smell when we are camping.

Sounds like campers smell:) Probably due to poor ventilation, or construction materials, or septic issues. The solution seems to ventilate as much as possible& accept what u cant change:)
