Sorry but I disagree with anyone who says you can eliminate the smell. Yes, you can reduce it but never totally eliminate it. It gets into the AC/heating ducts and coils, and every crack and crevice.
We recently traded coaches and in our search, our dealer wanted us to look at an otherwise nice 2006 Mountain Air 42' DP. The original owner told me his wife smoked in the coach.
I told the dealer he was wasting his and my time. Dealer had Serv Pro detail the coach, clean the ducts, clean everything. Then they ran the ozone gizmo for two days before we arrived to look at the coach.
It still smelled like a smoker's coach. Not bad but we could tell. After it sits closed up for a few days in the summer, the smell will rear it's ugly head, IMO. We left it and ended up with a nice, clean non-smoker's coach.
