    Hi All,

    Any way of getting rid of a musty smell in our caravan. When we used it the past few summers it smelled quite musty. Opened all windows for a couple of weeks before using it & cleaned it out well. Once it has the lived in smell with cooking etc its not too bad but when we get home any clothes we've taken with us smell musty. Going to wash seat covers & curtains before this season. Possibly a little damp getting in somewhere. Any magic cure.

    Rgds,

    T.

    Get it tested for damp, a habitation test is a good idea and may show up the source of the smell.

    That smell is from dampness. I run a dehumidifier in the motorhome in the winter. K take out a gallon a week. I could take put more but I dont want to leave it like a tattoo crisp but no issues with mouldy smell
