I just purchased a 2021 legacy elite. The previous owner had winterized it with antifreeze that included ethanol with that wonderful sweet smell. We purchased the trailer for amongst other things to act as a bedroom for my daughter who is very sensitive to smells and other things while our home is being renovated for the next couple of months. I dewinterized the Oliver and flushed everything with plenty of fresh water. I then re-winterized it with a non-ethanol, odor free antifreeze. However, I am still smelling the ethanol
I plan to flush it again once the weather warms up enough. It is currently snowing in Colorado. We are also thinking of putting some baking soda in warm water to put down all of the drains and into the gray tank. also leaving a little in each of the 3 P-traps for an hour or two. Wondering if there would be any issues running baking soda warm water through the fresh water system as well. Would the baking soda screw up any of the valves?
One interesting fact, the smell is much more intense when I run the furnace. I Assume this is just because I am moving the smell all around the trailer.
Has anyone else had to address this issue of totally eliminating that sweet smell of ethanol? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
