Getting Rid of Persistent New RV Smell

Why not try Ozium spray first, before investing in an ozone generator system?
Spray can from Walgreens is cheaper first investment.

They have scented versions now, buying a generator and finding it is the ozone smell she doesn’t like seems expensive mistake. But

Yeah, the RV is absolutely "offgassing" all of the new fabric and build smells. The ozonator machine may work.. but ultimately only time will get rid of the full offgassing.

Five years and counting.

I use Ozium all the time. The smell normally goes away after about 15 minutes.

I've found that leaving bowls of white vinegar around helps absorb the smell over time. Also, airing out the RV in direct sunlight can speed up the process.

In addition to campfire smoke, I discovered (by accident) another way to mask odors. Um .... let a mouse inside your camper. It evades EVERY mousetrap ... EVERY one for 3 months. Now get desperate. Set out mouse or rat poison. Yep, the critter eats the poison, crawls in the underbelly of your camper and dies.

A few days later, the smell of the dead mouse becomes so strong, you'll never smell the "new camper smell" again!

(Don't ask how I know!)
