Hi

I test drove a used Jeep from a main dealer, and the smell of smoke inside made my eyes water, it was really bad (and I'm an ex smoker).

I told them if it wasn't for the smoke smell I'd have the car. No problem said the dealer, we use a "bomb".

Its some kind of valeting thing that gives the car the "new smell" back, they put it in, set it off, and leave it for 24 hours.

Brilliant, even the wife agreed, the smell had totally gone.

If it works for cars, you can probably get the same thing for a caravan

we steam cleaned all of the cushions & washed the curtains.  As an interim, if you can't get that done yet, try one of those fabric sprays like febreeze - asda do one of their own, antibacterial & less than a quid a bottle - smells nice too, so always have one handy!!

Mind you - having said that, am about to embark on making new curtains for the caravan - doing it the cheats way though - bought readymade lined curtains & cutting them to size!!!

Although I smoke, the smell in a folding camper we bought a few years ago was awful. I washed the curtains and valances but couldn't get the staining out so I bought new ready made ones and put them up. The upholstery got a good scrub and then a spray with Febreeze. Left it up for a couple of days in nice sunny weather while the upholstery dried, then put a few tumble drier sheets in it while it was folded.

It was like a new one when we opened it up again.
