You could try a product called RAID which kills flies in your house, or a general insecticide. It will also need a really thorough cleaning and a good airing. But I don’t see why it can’t be done. Good luck.

Go to your local vets and get some spray flea treatment. That should sort it, but you'll have to do all the cushions (both sides) and the carpet.

Don't know how to get rid of your 'beastie' problem, but if your trailer is a Dandy it will have plastic panels rather than canvas, and solid side-walls.

Hiya

Dont know about the bugs, but clean the plastic roof/sides with Mr Muscle kitchen cleaner. Definately makes it smell better if its been stored, and removes dirt pretty well.

Good luck

You could try the thing above but if they dont work what about getting new seat pads and covers, Riva leisure took over Dandy and are still going strong and, they are very helpfull, see the link below.
