Smell from walls, definite chemical odor
For the last few years I have experienced an increasing smell coming from the walls of my 9 year old camper. It only occurs on hot days when the sun has been beating down on the wall of the camper. Primarily it's the driver side that's the worst, this is the side that faces the sun when the camper is in outside storage (last 9 years, bright NC sun). I'm thinking that the glue that holds the laminated foam walls is the culprit, it's starting to slowly out gas inside the camper.
Once the sun is off the wall the smell is gone, draping a drop cloth over the offending wall will also stop the smell "immediately"!
First of all has anyone experienced anything like this? And would some sort of interior odor sealing paint (shellac) work?
I do know that this is a problem with some brand new campers which out gas at first but eventually go away but this is the exact opposite, the older the camper gets the worse it gets.
