Brown stuff in compartment in new trailer

Don’t know what it is. Brand new trailer and there’s some brown gunk. Looks like a spilled chocolate milkshake. It’s not poop because I haven’t pooped in it yet and it didn’t smell.

Any ideas? I will post photo tomorrow.

    Can't tell you what it is, even if we see it.

    I think you are on your own with this mystery.

    Probably leftover nuclear waste. Just clean it up and throw it over the neighbors fence. Wear gloves.

    If it's brand new I would take it back to the dealer and let them deal with the mystery.
    Did you do an inspection before you took possession of the unit?

    The dealer will take one look at it say it's excess adhesive, and probably be right.

    Yeah. Probably. I did do a review on wednesday and didn't see it. I picked it up today and all we did was hitch the trailer and I left. I noticed when I got to my parking spot.

    Wet rag, see if it comes up.
    then a cleaner like 409.
    then try denatured alcohol mixed 50/50 with water.
    then wd-40
    then paint thinner
    then acetone

    I agree with SAR. Try to clean it up before the dealer has your new rig for 6 weeks.
