We bought our TT used (2 years old) and it still has the new camper smell. I guess that is better than other funky smells that it could of had, but my DW can't stand that new camper smell!

2 year old used trailer, maybe something died somewhere?

X2 on the ground coffee. Great odor absorber. Used to sprinkle coffee on the floor of the refer trailer after hauling broccoli. The apple sheds wouldn't load apples until the broccoli smell was gone.

Having the trailer opened up as much as possible has helped the problem a lot. We also used a cinnamon plug-in air freshener to help mask the smell and the DW is much happier.

We got ours professionally tested and VOC's and formaldehyde were extremely high. Basically we bought a toxic tin. I have no idea if the danger level will go down and how long it will take

The smells, odors etc. in an RV are the same smells,odors etc. that have been in RVs and mobile homes since the 70s. They don't and won't kill you unless you are deathly afraid of them and you let it kill you. It's not toxic unless you want it to be and never has been to a single soul I've known for 60+ years that have lived in them. Now for those "worried" about little things, I would suggest not buying an RV - a tent has the same "gasses", just fewer and can make one feel "better". I'm figuring that extra cup of coffee you are ingesting daily will kill you far earlier than the smell.....

Mmmm.... burned popcorn in the microwave to go along with the Key West coffee... That’ll do it! (John, they don’t know what good Community coffee is in KW!)

Yep, one Saturday morning hangover in the French Quarter with beignets and Cafe au lait from Dumond's will make everything else "pale by comparison"...
Langusta is NOT lobster, but often confused... Just look at the absence of those two "big claws" and it's as clear as comparing a goat to a pig... Anyway, the best langusta I've ever had was at a little seafood restaurant in Cesme Turkey, about 20 miles west of Izmir, just a "short swim from the "footsteps of the Greek Isles"
When it comes to "delightful seafood" in Key West, try the buttered, broiled conch, but I wouldn't recommend it with a cup of "key coffee"... Save the coffee for after supper.... maybe even with a freshly rolled Havana cigar while watching the tourists walk around downtown Key West....
