Nash 25C or Lance 2185 Travel Trailer?
Well, we've narrowed our search for a four-season TT that has bunks for our kids and are trying to decide betw the Nash 25C or the Lance 2185. It almost seems that Nash "copied" the Lance as the N...

Well, what I should have said was "Formaldehyde in your house or trailer has no odor." Formaldehyde, like when you dissected a frog - does have an odor. But that's at REALLY high concentrations. Like a frog soaking in it!
Many people have been poisoned by formaldehyde in their homes/FEMA trailers etc because it is below the odor threshold (the lowest possible amt someone can smell) so they don't know it's even there.
If you look all over the web, you will see notes such as "formaldehyde in your home is especially dangerous because you cannot detect it as it is odorless..."
So I did some digging: The odor threshold for formaldehyde is 830 ppb.
A home or trailer is dangerously high at 50 - 80 ppb.
A medium concentration is 10 - 50 ppb.
Below 10 is low.
So the point is, even the levels that are extremely high in your home, are still 10X well below the odor threshold, so you would not be able to smell them.
And here's more from some of my notes: "Over 300 ppb is not safe to be around".....and this is well below the 830 ppb odor threshold as well...
And so I think those "new car smells" are other things, not the formaldehyde.....
