Test formaldehyde levels before buying an RV
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...trailers_N.htm
This could really cause problems for manufacturers and dealers . There is no regulation on this for RV's . If someone gets sick they should be able to sue the manufacturer . Regulated or not they caused the illness . But what does a dealer do if a potential buyer requests an RV to be tested and it is found unsafe ? This isn't covered under warranty or regulation . Can the dealer return it ?

Yeap, had this type of thing happen when looking for a new LQ horse trailer. Walked in a few and within minutes my eyes were itching and head was hurting. Needless to say I didn't buy that brand of trailer. The one I got wasn't bad at all. I do open the windows and doors on it often to air it out and get rid of what little smell it had.

Yeap, both trailers were closed up on a hot day. I walked in a Sundowner, eyes were burning, Head started hurting, and very hard to breath. I didn't look twice at that trailer. The other trailer I could smell it but it wasn't as unbearable as the Sundowner. Wife and I both had the same reaction.
