Asbestos in RVs

I was wondering if RVs can have asbestos in them anywhere? I bought a 1996 Damon Intruder RV to live in and I have been sick with respiratory problems since the first day I bought it. I hadn't been sick for at least two years prior to getting and living in the RV. I have been in it 5 months now. Can someone please give me info on this. Thank you. If it does have asbestos in it how do I get it tested and what can I do about it if the RV dealership who sold me the RV did not tell me it has asbestos if it does?
  • I can't imagine that any new RV would have asbestos of any kind in it..
    Not an expert but...

    You might be getting sick for other reasons...bad air circulation, mold from a leak, formaldehyde in the flooring, spores in the carpet, etc...
