Smell

Why does my trailer have a foul smell

That's a very general question and I believe you'd get a better response if you gave a few more details. Is the smell concentrated in one particular area (bathroom, kitchen, bedroom)? Does it smell like rotten eggs or like sewer? Did it just start recently or has it been going on a while? Is your trailer new or did you just purchase it used from an individual?

A bit more information would help us all try to help you diagnose and identify the issue.

Welcome!

There are many articles written on the topic of annoying RV and boat odors. A simple web search like 'fixing rv odors' will give you hours of reading material and, hopefully, a path to finding the source(s) and solution(s).

Best of luck!

Greg.

You can buy an ozone generator fairly cheap on Amazon that will pretty well eliminate odors in an area. You have to run it when no people or animals are in the area.

Ozone generators are dangerous. They can damage your lungs.

From Ozone Generators that are Sold as Air Cleaners | US EPA

The same chemical properties that allow high concentrations of ozone to react with organic material outside the body give it the ability to react with similar organic material that makes up the body, and potentially cause harmful health consequences. When inhaled, ozone can damage the lungs. Relatively low amounts can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and throat irritation. Ozone may also worsen chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and compromise the ability of the body to fight respiratory infections. People vary widely in their susceptibility to ozone. Healthy people, as well as those with respiratory difficulty, can experience breathing problems when exposed to ozone. Exercise during exposure to ozone causes a greater amount of ozone to be inhaled, and increases the risk of harmful respiratory effects. Recovery from the harmful effects can occur following short-term exposure to low levels of ozone, but health effects may become more damaging and recovery less certain at higher levels or from longer exposures (US EPA, 1996a, 1996b).
