How do you get musty smells out of an old used RV?
Sue Chef asked:
Got an old used RV, smells like a dead rat, Cleaned it, but I couldn’t take out all the pumps, wiring, and water tank to clean around. I also used the shop vac. I am letting it air out, because something may still be in the frame. So, I am asking, how to get the smell out after cleaning what I could reach. This thing sat in a field for two years and A friend gave it to me. Any tips for an old rv would be welcome. It runs good and the fridge and stove work fine, as does the pump and hot water. Thanks.
