Odor in all areas of fifth wheel

We have a lingering odor thorough out our camper. Clothes in camper, dishes in cupboard, food mixes in boxes all seem to absorbs this unpleasant smell. No leaks in unit. This is not sewer or gray water. Camper always stored inside when not in use. Thought it was new type smell but camper is now 4 years old. After a trip we must wash unused clothes and dishes. Have tried damp-rid in camper. Have owned other campers and have not had this problem.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Dead mice? They do make an awful smell. Had them in an RV years ago.

Can you tell "what" kind of smell it is? It's pretty easy, to me, to tell dead mice, musty, mold, burned, rotting, electrical, wet, chemical etc.....most anything. What does the "odor" smell like??

Trailer Odor

I can't help you with the cause of the odor, but when you have found it, Tea Tree Oil is great for removing the odor that has permeated everything. You can get it at Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A2N4REE8VQNAQQ

Expensive, but works miracles. We used it on an older Everest 5th wheel to get rid of mold odors.
