Whats that gas like smell when i enter my rv trailer? This happens especially when i havent used or entered my trailer for a month.The propane tanks are all off. No alarms from my gas detector.

Gassing off of the substrate under the filon maybe?

I remember that formaldehyde was used to preserve the specimens in the jars in the biology lab, I wonder what else the manufacturers of fiber board and plywood want to preserve?navegator

According to the Wikipedia article, Formaldehyde is mainly used in the production of industrial resins, eg: for particle board and coatings.
