Bob is right on the ionizers -- they are wonderful. They are used routinely in the auto reconditioning industry, and do a great job. We have a small plastic one we use inside of a plastic cooler to remove the musty or smoke smells from old books and magazines, and also a heavy wood 'tabletop' model I found at a thrift shop for larger vehicles and the occasional use at home.
Two other things to try are enzymatic cleaners and chlorine dioxide odor bombs. The enzymatic cleaners use natural organic chemicals to break down organic compounds. We use a product called "Natures's Miracle" that is sold in pet stores to remove pet urine smells. It works great on sweat and body odors, smoke, and food odors on surfaces, fabrics and carpets. Spray it on and wait a day. The enzymes break down the odor-causing organics. It doesn't stain or anything, but takes out the smells very well. It's GREAT for mouse pee and dead mouse smells you might encounter in a coach.
The odor bombs are supposed to be great, and work in a similar manner to the ozone, but I haven't used them. I've heard great things though. Has anyone here tried them on a car or coach?
All three work by actually removing the smells (not just covering them up) and have no residual smell of their own.

These GMC's can have odder from just being old. Or you bought one that the owner had covered over their smoking. We have apartment buildings, houses, and commercial/industrial warehouse rentals. So we've been down this road. An ionizer will REMOVE odder. It's an ozone generator. I found out about these from Serv Pro. The generators aren't intended for the general public. Do to the possibility of improper use. After you start one up. You must leave the area that's being treated. It has a timer. Generally 1 hour will do the job. Don't return for several hours. I'd suggest overnight at least. Or more. Then open windows. We have a small one for spaces under 1000 sq ft. Rammoth Model: 5000-OG About $80. On line. A GMC club could buy one to loan out to it's members. We used an ionizers for the final mouse small in the 78 Royale that I rebuilt 3 years ago. They small just like a lightning storm while working. $80 is cheep to solve a real odder problem for good. Bob Dunahugh
