New TT off-gassing period?
How long does it take for a new TT to stop off-gassing? I have problems with the fumes from new trailers. It makes me feel ill.

new smell and fragrant? Open a few windows and it will be just fine?
Look up formaldehyde. Toxic when off gassing and continues to be harmful in small confined areas like an RV 'especially' for children. :(
I live in a stick n' brick with Owens Corning "pink" insulation, formaldehyde used in the manufacturing process. Not dead yet! Have granite and quartz countertops as well, OMG!! Radon gas, oh the humanity.
My point is I don't decide how stuff is made, have no control over what's in it. All in all, chemicals have been more of a boon to modern living than bane. Life is managing risk, no one has a promise of life eternal..........but that's just me. YMMV. Guess in the context of my post the mild sarcasm of "fragrant" escaped you. The OP is being given some good info, but as he will discover, an RV constructed of material with minimal alleged carcinogens and VOC's may cost him a price premium he doesn't want to pay. We just stumbled on the fact Jayco is building CARB/Calif. Prop 65 compliant RV's. They still emit a smell new that readily dissipates when the trailer is ventilated.
