I was in some large fifth-wheel trailers a few days ago (yes, I know, looking at the dark side...) that had been sitting closed up all day in about 33 C heat (90 F), and found a strong skunky smell in places in all of them; my wife found the air made her throat burn in one. These were all very new (not in inventory for long), and were roughly $80,000 (Canadian) units - not particularly cheap stuff. Solid wood is certainly better than MDF and particleboard, but there's still the carpet and lots of adhesives.
There... another reason to buy a 30 year old trailer! The materials were no better (probably worse), but 30 years of airing out makes a big difference.

Information is good. Lack of information is not so good, but misinformation is much worse. Check facts, and apply common sense liberally.
