I'm not there to smell it but I've been in many when looking, that the formaldehyde was very bad. It outgasges from particle board and foam board and other materials it was used in. I don't how long it might take to quit outgassing if ever.
Standard procedure use to be open the doors and windows, after taking out of storage and to have a window cracked or something when parked. One reason the fans were so popular, in roofs I heard one time.
How much of the adhesives and materials still are in motor home construction I don't know. Our 05 doesn't smell but when we first open up we air it out.
Your's may be something else.
