My camper got out of hibernation this weekend after a long winter in Montreal. The warehouse had a very strong moisture odor that got impregnated in the camper.Can you please give me advice on how to get rid of that smell? Every orifice in the Tc has been let open for the last 48 h without any major improvement.Thanks Steve

You might try Fresh Wave that you can buy in various forms from Ace Hardware or others. Leave the jar open with all of the orifices open as well for several days. No guarantee but we like it.It's going to take awhile because the smell has been building up for months and is behind the walls, inside the drawers, etc.

Lots of baking soda, Fabreze are two good choices. Sprinkle baking soda on all soft surfaces, let it sit for a couple of days, vacuum up.

If it is really bad, rent an ozone machine and leave it in there. They work in no more than 30 minutes.

Took longer than 30 minutes, but worked.A good cleaning of all fabrics finished off the smell.

I heard a 5 gal bucket of charcoal. I'm going to be sticking it in my camper to rid the overwhelming mothball stench

bowl of ammonia and lock up the vehicle for a day or so if possible.

Kills ALL smells. Trick of rod and custom restorers of very old cars found in deplorable conditions. I've seen it work firsthand.

X2 on the Ozone generator.
I used one to get the cigarette smell out of a TT and it worked great.
