rv smell

[Ranger Kip]

anyone else know what Im talking about? Ive noticed all RVs smell the same o_o they smell like cold smelly plastic and rubber

 

[Ozwynn]

yep ..... its the Formaldehyde used in the building materials

 

[Ranger Kip]

????

 

[Ozwynn]

the smell is the formaldehyde used in making the MDS and plywood and various glues and epoxies used in building RV's

 

[Ranger Kip]

hmm, smells good though

 

[Ozwynn]

careful .... it's poisonous .......... same reason manufactured houses have to sit empty for 24 hours after set up with the doors and windows open ..... to vent the building material fumes.....

 

[Ranger Kip]

very true, but rvs carry the smell for years

 

[det107]

Formaldehyde is also an embalmer's favorite-

 

[Ranger Kip]

so they try killing the owners of RV's eh?

 

[colby450xc]

Yeah, RV's are held together with nothing more than glue, silicone, staples and screws. Kind of crazy considering how much a new RV costs.

 

[Ranger Kip]

indeed
