I too, love new camper smell. Fabreeze has some fragrances (I think it's called "clean linen") that should help cover the smell, which will deminish as you use it.

However, ours still smelled new after 2.5 yrs when we sold it. We used every weekend plus vacation days from Mar to Nov.

The world is full of comedians! LOL To the OP aren't you glad you asked? Some pretty cleaver responses, some not so. Just air it out and use it. Smell will diminish with time. Good luck, John

How about trying Febreeze?
Chemicals to cover up chemical smells?


Why, yes. OP is asking what to recommend and i'm assuming the NATURAL fresh air just won't do.

Doors and windows open. Keep the air moving with a fan or run the AC on fan only.
