 Calendar Event: 2010 RPod 171 Smell?Posted: 18 Aug 2014 at 9:18am |

An A/C will improve the air quality (at home and in the pod), because the condensation in the evaporator will trap odors/dust/pollen/spores in the air as it travels through. This is why physicians recommend staying indoors with windows closed and A/C on for allergy sufferers.
I think there is something else going on other than construction off-gassing. since that process usually lasts for a few months to a year.

Formaldehyde could be what you are smelling from the plywood. I have heard of others complaining about that. With some people they are very sensitive to it. We have furniture from Vietnam after several years there is still the strong smell of it when you open drawers. Don't ask me why they use formaldehyde but that is what I have been told. It is used in the glue that holds the ply's together that make up the plywood.

During the entire time we owned our RP 175 my wife complained of a recurrent repugnant smell. She found that backhanding her husband did little to cure my flatulence.

For us the smell is nothing I've had before. Don't think it has any thing to do with camper and beginning to think it was a stink bug infestation since the smell is disappearing since we leave it opened up in storage. We owned a manufactured home back in the late 70's and that was a smell that burned your eyes, related to glue. It finally went away but took a long time. I think I would be looking to FR for solution.
