I, too, am very sensitive to certain smells and can develop an immediate migraine from scented candles and air fresheners, so I can't use either of those methods. I was wondering what I would do about the new trailer smell in our 2013 Bighorn, then came across this mini-article in Canadian Living magazine, March 2013, page 111. Haven't tried it yet but am eager to try a more 'natural' approach. Hope this helps!

"Boasting lush, textured fronds, the Boston fern is a fixture in many homes. And this green machine is no wallflower: The bountiful foliage acts as a living air purifier, neutralizing volatile organic compounds (VOC's) that gas-off from synthetic materials found in everything from furniture to flooring. In fact, just one Boston fern can remove 1,863 micrograms of formaldehyde from the air in one hour. All that hardworking houseplant asks for is a little TLC. It appreciates occasional misting and can benefit hugely from a humidifier."

Boston ferns aren't all that expensive so I plan on buying one to try out during our maiden voyage at the end of May. After the trip, I'll just bring it into the house and set it in my kitchen.
