I took two stress less chairs out a number of months ago and put them in our home and they smelled like mold for months. I have metered the entire unit for leaks and there is no visible signs of damage to do with leaks. My wife brought a bag of cookies back from the unit last week after we stayed in the unit over the weekend and even the plastic smelled like mold. The sheets we cleaned in our home washer smell of mold after being washed twice, what the heck could be causing this stink? Our unit is cleaned serviced and maintained by professional services? I have read on your site about the washer p drain etc.. We have a washer and dryer in the coach, is that the culprit?

It works like a fumigation bomb but for odors. Therefore, the product gets deep into the upholstery killing the odor at its source. It doesn’t have any harsh chemicals and it’s easy to use.

My friend told be about RV Shocker, an odor eliminator. I was skeptical, but it actually worked. All the smells are gone. It is also environmentally friendly, so there are no harsh chemicals. I highly recommend it to anyone. You can find it at http://www.biocidesystems.com/rvshocker.html.

During the off season, we use a truck camper and this spring when we de-winterized it, we noticed a "skunk" smell in the bathroom. We have checked the venting system, have used all the methods we know of but to no avail. The smell seems to be coming from the sink drain - we would appreciate any suggestions.

It easily remove any severe odor including pet, cigarette smoke, mold and mildew odors by completely sanitize the interior within two hours. It is revolutionary new technology that makes Chlorine Dioxide and its benefits available to the general public. Chlorine Dioxide is the strongest and yet safe biocide which up until now has only been accessible to large industries like food packing plants and sanitation, to eliminate odors disinfect and decontaminate. The company introducing the product is Biocide Systems. They are so confident in the results that they offer a money back guarantee. The product works very much like a fumigation bomb. It comes with a cup you add a little water and let sit for four hours in the RV. Not only dose it remove the odor after two hours but it literally sanitized the entire interior leaving it smelling crisp and clean. a great benefit to any RV enthusiast. This was my experience. My family and I took the RV out over this past Presidents' Day weekend. We went to one of my favorite spots near Kennedy Meadows. As we were packing up the final things to head home our dog decided to dance with a skunk. As you can imagine our dog lots and darted right into the RV. By the time we were able to get Rosco our dog out of the RV and wash him down the skunk odor had permeated the entire RV and everything in it. We were left with no choice but to suffer a four hour road trip with the awful smell. Needless to say the ride home was one of the most challenging experiences but that's another story in itself. When we finally got home we had a professional auto detailing company come out on an emergency call. They steamed cleaned the carpets and cushions then they sprayed an enzyme cleaner. It did not put a dent in the odor. The next day they tried using an Ozone machine. $400 later no major improvement. Then my daughter-in-law insisted I go to a website called www.Biocidesystems.com. She used a product called Room Shocker to get rid of cigarette odors out of a vacant apartment she needed to rent out. She claimed it delivered the most amazing results and bet me it would work or she would pay for it. When I went to their website I was pleasantly surprised to find that they not only had a Room Shocker for homes but also an RV shocker and Boat Shocker. I went ahead and ordered the RV Shocker for $24.95. It was at my door in the next morning. I follow the instructions and set off the RV Shocker. After two hours I peeked my head in the RV to check on everything and I could smell a chlorinated sent but no skunk odor. I could not believe my nose. I went ahead and stepped in to the RV and was baffled when I realized the skunk odor was gone. I was literally in an overwhelming state of disbelief and shock. I immediately took the cup out and put it in the storage shed where I placed all the items that were tainted in the RV. I've opened all the doors and windows to the RV to air it out. Within 20 minutes the chlorinated smell was gone and no skunk odor left. I then brought my wife in for the final approval. She literally had tears of joy when she relies that the odor was gone and our RV was back to normal and even better than before. Not only did it remove the skunk odor but it also removed the stubborn pet odor and left the RV smelling crisp and clean. A couple hours later everything in the shed was the same crisp and clean. Even the damp mildew odor in the shed was gone. Amazing is the only word to properly describe the results. Has anyone herd about this brand new product called RV Shocker?

I have been going crazy running down the sewer odor, most notably when the bath fan was on. Then I read the postings here about the washing machine water trap. We have not used the washer in well over a year, following the advice here, we ran a cycle and guess what, the odor went away. I had examined every drain, every possibility and never considered the washer sitting in a cabinet in the same area. One last thought, another discovery. I have a 99 Beaver Marquis, in my search of the phantom odor I discovered Beaver, using some questionable at best logic, did not vent the bathroom sink to the outside. Instead they put a stub on it, right under the sink, just out of sight unless you use a flashlight and stick your head under there. This stub is vented, vented to the space under the sink. Now, wasnt that brilliant? And someone some where fixed the problem by covering the vent holes with good old fix everything duct tape. If you have a Beaver coach you might want to look under your bathroom sink. Thanks for this page, you made my day......

One of mine is located above the shower and the other above the bathroom sink. The one above the shower would be closest to the toilet.

I purchased the xtreme vents by coilnwrap after comparing them with the cheap plastic alternatives found in the RV stores and Walmarts. I decided on the Xtreme Vents because they are vastly superior in craftsmanship (power coated aluminum and well crafted internal parts) to anything else I found. They work GREAT! No odors anytime, anywhere PERIOD! While I agree that there are alot of gadgets out there that are probably not necessary, I give the Xtreme Vents two thumbs up and highly recommend them as a REAL solution to RV odors.

Tried everything we could do to eliminate the odor. It appears the vent cover popped off. Would a extreme vent take care of this problem? We tried tank cleaners and they didn't work. Please help us out with some suggestions. We are only able to camp on weekends and look forward to enjoying our camper, but the smell is soooo bad. Thanks.
