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.

Just bought a new 2014 Minnie 21 ft TT and I'm having an awful time with the off-gassing but my husband doesn't even notice it. We were going to spend the night in it (in the driveway) but my headache and queasiness made it impossible. I'm going to follow some of the suggestions I've read here and hopefully the problem will go away.
Looking forward to lots of trips on our little escape pod so I hope this problem goes away quickly.

The warmer the ambient temp inside the trailer, the "gassier" the interior will be. If you can leave windows cracked and roof vent open that will do much to help dissipate the odors. Only thing that helps is good ventilation and the passage of time. BTW: Does Winnebago use materials that contain formaldehyde in structural/finish materials/adhesive materials? Even petrochemical based materials will give off an odor when new. We had new carpet made from new/recyled polyester material installed in the bedroom of our stick n' brick. Took about a month for the odor to dissipate.
