Open Roads Forum  >  Class A Motorhomes  > Pet smell???? This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Next amhspurser • View posts Coeur d' alene, Idaho Full Member Joined: 03/27/2004 View Profile Posted: 07/14/04 10:33pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Considering a Class "A" that is priced way way below NADA...say 60% off. But, consignment salesman says coach stinks to high heaven...probably have to strip out everything and replace. Does anyone know how would work on a thing like this? If one replaced couch, dinette, all chairs, carpet...would that do it??? Priced less than 30k for what should sell for about 55k to 60k Opinions anyone? Can we put 10-15k and have a good coach??? Would you have to change bulkhead material and ceilings or appliances?

If it's from cat urine, you probably have to replace everything. Doggy smell is easier to deal with. You could try having the carpet and upholstry professionally cleaned and go from there. If it truly is worth that much more than you're paying for it....go for it and at least replace the carpet. Playin' Playinatlife and lovin' it!

Yes, they were probably smokers and in that case it will be really difficult to get rid of the smell as it permiates the walls. Unless of course you are also smokers then it might not bother you. amhspurser • View posts Coeur d' alene, Idaho Full Member Joined: 03/27/2004 View Profile Posted: 07/15/04 12:05am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I understand it was CATS!!!!

There are very good enzymes on the market that will get the smell out but depending on how often it happened and whether or not it got to the floor underlayment can make it extrememly difficult. We rented a place where a cat used a spot in a bedroom. This place was on a concrete slab, it took many applications of enzyme to get rid of the odor. As one poster stated dog odors are easy to remove, clean the carpets and furniture, its as simple as that. S. Mid.

Cat odors are the worst. I would consult with carpet cleaners/fire or crime scene restoration companies and see what they have to say. The experts have the answers, where many times its just our opinions. Good Miles and Happy Trails.

That should help. Good luck! -Roger 2007 Forest River Salem 28FBSS 2006 F-150 Ford 4x4 S/B More picutes denandlin • View posts Westfield, Ma. USA New Member Joined: 01/06/2004 View Profile Posted: 07/15/04 06:45am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Last year we looked at a two year old, very high end coach that had a smell beyond description ( smoking, cooking and animals) but the price was very attractive. I contacted a professional bus/RV reconditioner to find out if the odor could be removed. Their response was if the price vs value isn't low enough to support completely gutting and replacing the interior don't buy it. They also commented that in hot/humid weather the odors would return no matter what they could do short of complete interior replacement. I'd give this a lot of thought. Good luck.

She was kind enough to pee in only one spot on the landing going up the stairs, but boy did it stink. After giving her lots and lots of extra lovin', I tried to steam clean the area - did not work. I went to the pet store and got some spray on enzyme odor remover - did not work because the kitty pee had penetrated the carpet, probably down to the underlayment, and the spray only worked on the top of the carpet and did not soak in. So, back to the pet store - found a liquid enzyme odor remover and SOAKED, I mean SOAKED the landing and let it dry. ODOR IS GONE!!! Yipee! Next project - pet door in the basement door so this does not happen again!
