We have a new 2012 Georgetown and have no smell.
I am very sensitive to chemicals and they have done something right on our rig.
I have to be real careful in any new building or newly renovated space as I will be ill with in minutes. And our new Georgetown is not a problem in this area. A few other small problems but that is an other story. I think they are fixing those for me.

Ventilating is the best way to go. I have not tried this but I have read that wool will absorb formaldehyde vapors. Perhaps putting out a wool blanket on days that you cannot ventilate the rv will help also.

We had a 2004 Wildcat, if it was closed up for any time at all and we went in our eyes would burn, nose would run, headache. We had to keep our windows open at all times or it was not fun to be in the camper. We now have a 2009 Silverback and no issues at all with it..

So my dealer is claiming 2012 Rockwoods are Formaldehyde Free? Can anyone confirm this. I can't find info about it anywhere.

I have a 2011 Rockwood Mini Lite 2306 and never had the Formaldahyde smell - not even from day one.
I do have Maxx Aire II vents on both vents and leave them open so there is always ventilation in the camper.
I am was very sensitive to that smell and know it very well - when I worked in a car Dealership we used to get shippments of Conversion Vans and on a Hot Day you would get a blast of that stuff and get the burning eyes - was no fun when you had to move the van around the lot.

We cook with enough garlic it overpowers the other odors.

I think it was Monty Python that did a skit about formaldehyde. One of them gave the other a bottle and said "ask Mel to hide this". The other said "What is it". The first one said "It's formaldehide". The response was "You told me that already, but what's in the bottle?" It went on for several exchanges.

I just purchased a 2012 Apex 151RBX and was surprised at how absent of odors it was. The only thing you could smell was the "leather" on the seats.
