Cigarette Smoke
Is there any salvaging a TT that has been smoked in? I found a model TT I've been looking for but it has been smoked in heavily. I haven't actually been in it yet - the dealer it's at is 180 miles...

If it were cheap enough so I wouldn't mind replacing all cushions and fabric and wiping down every wall and cabinet and drawer. Letting it air out well.
It may always have a hint of a smell anyway, that would depend on your tolerance level.
I don't care what anyone says, the only way to remove the smell is to remove and replace EVERYTHING..
Folks just don't seem to understand just how well embedded this smell can get. Your walls, ceiling, cabinets and even the flooring is somewhat porous.. The smoke over time finds it's way INTO all those open pores..
Myself I am extremely allergic to cig smoke.. I can smell someone smoking one single cig at 50 yards away with a slight breeze down wind.
Now compound that inside a SEALED box for years, add a little summer heat and that stale smoke smell will simply pop out of all those pores..
Nothing short of priming with a good stain resistant primer and painting over top of EVERYTHING is going to help the cause and even that might be a stretch due to places you are not going to get to (IE underside of counter tops, inside and under drawers)..
There is no value to a non smoker if they are allergic to cig smoke.
Best option is to pass.
There simply are too many other used RVs for sale in the market. Wait a while and keep searching.
