Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

I looked ar a beautiful Damond today.  The price was within our budger and it seemed to be spotless.  I was looking through the kitchem and opened the fridge door.  I just about lost my lunch!  It smelled like a dead mouse was in there.  I just left and went home.  Can someone ever get that smell out.  There was nothing in there.  Could a mouse get up behind the coils?disbelief

I have found that when the frig is turned off there is a "smell" no matter how clean it is.  Once it's cold....no smell.  I've cleaned my three times, put boxes of soda....still a wierd smell.....sorta like dead shrimp.  But is looks pristine!  When I cooled it down no smell.

Use 409 cleaner before you store the RV block the doors open with the frig off and let it air, also you can get some packets of coffee, like the ones in a hotel room, to put inside it helps keep moisture out and smell good also.

Maybe I should go and have another look. I left because it smelled like a dead mouse. I could handle that anywhere but the fridge.

Had a bad smell in ours once...tried everything I could think of including, bleach, dryer sheets, ajax, etc. set paper plates with coffee grounds on two shelves and closed door. Checked next day and it was better. Within a week it was completely gone. Wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

Likely from having the doors closed tightly for an extended periord.  I have used Extract of Vanilla to eradicate such an ordor. 

Doors should always be left open!!!
