Eliminating new trailer smell?

Can anyone give me any ideas how to eliminate that new trailer smell? We continue to air it out every day, using fans, and have tried using a scented candle, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I must be very sensitive to the smell as it is giving me a bad headache every time I go inside.

    Just let me use it for a weekend. Two days of my boys farting in there and you will be wishing for new trailer smell again.

    That chemical smell is terrible! Some units at RV shows drive my wife out and i can only stay for a limited time. Some are allot worse that others.

    Some of the above ideas might work, you may also want to try vinegar in a cup.......I think the only real cure is allot of ventilation!

    I hate to say it but time and fresh air.....others may say coffee grinds, charcoal...but what you are experiencing is common for the "new trailer smell"....

    I am not sure...I keep a Smells Begone® Odor Absorber™ Solid Air Freshener in my TT. Walmart has them for around $4.
