First, welcome to the Forum. If you do a Google search, which I just did, you will get numerous hits on information about formaldehyde in RV's and mobile homes. Just type in "Formaldehyde in RV's " or "Formaldehyde in mobile homes" and you will find many articles about this topic . It is my understanding that formaldehyde is found in numerous materials used in the construction of homes, RV's and mobile homes. You will most likely find it in all RV's. We purchased a new Cougar in '08 and did not notice any smell - other than the normal "new" smell of any new unit but neither of us have any allergies. Can't comment about companies as such that will remove carpeting and replace with vinyl. If your husband is handy, it can be done at home....if not, try a reputable RV parts and service outlet.
