Toy Hauler gas, oil and tire odors??
Little background... I am an off-road enduro racer. I try to travel as much as I can, for race events, dual sports, or just exotic rides with friends. I have a small 22' travel trailer that sleep...

The only time I have any issue with odors is when I load the bikes while they are still hot. Engine heat cooks the gas tank and it pushes vapors out of the breather. Load them after they have cooled.
Turn off the petcock (if you have one). Drain the bowl, or at least run it briefly.
If your toy leaks anything, fix it first. We hauled 4 bikes to Moab; 3 in the trailer and the gooey 2 stroke that is seeping something from somewhere had to ride in the bed of the truck. 2.5 days of riding, and on the half day we showered and changed, loaded the bikes in the trailer at the very last (to allow them to cool), and there wasn't a smell 5hrs later when we got home.
I travel with the roof vents open, and store it with them cracked.
Shoot, I lived in my trailer for 2yrs on a job away from home, and used the trailer as a garage for both my street bike and dirt bike during the summer. The "load it when cool" rule is the only thing I had to worry about. Load one hot and 30min later it would stink of gas.
