About ToxicTrailers.com

ToxicTrailers.com is dedicated to providing information about formaldehyde poisoning, and advocating effective government regulations. The government spent more than $2 billion on FEMA trailers with hazardous levels of formaldehyde, and now has dumped more than 103,000 former FEMA trailers on the market despite proven problems with formaldehyde, mold and even gas leaks. The FEMA trailer tragedy exposed what is a widespread problem in RVs, mobile homes, modular buildings and even conventional homes and offices. If you are having symptoms such as burning eyes, congestion, sore throat, coughing, breathing difficulties, frequent sinus infections or rashes, and difficulties concentrating, you may have a formaldehyde problem. For questions or to share your story, write 4becky@cox.net.
To make a complaint about former FEMA travel trailers being advertised or rented as permanent housing in violation of the sales contract, send an e-mail to David Robbins, david.robbins@gsa.gov.
Plywood made with a soy-based alternative is available at Home Depot at the same cost as plywood that outgassing formaldehyde. See http://www.columbiaforestproducts.com/Innovations.aspx/Adhesives
For a eco friendly travel trailer built with materials that don't outgas formaldehyde, see http://www.goevergreenrv.com/

Smell in Jayco drives family out...

We own a 2005 Jayco Eagle Travel Trailer. We purchased it December of 2004. There was a "smell" in this trailer from the beginning but just assumed it was because it was new. As the summer came upon us the smell got so bad that we can't even walk into this trailer without instant burning of the eyes and throat.... You last about 3 seconds in there until you find yourself running out of there coughing and choking to get fresh air. We have owned this trailer just over 5 years and we love the lay out but CAN NOT deal with this horrible smell. Is there anything we can do about this????
