Musty smell in camp house

Question for the brain trust...we have an old single wide trailer as our camp house and are trying to rid it of the musty smell. Any recommendations on getting rid of that? Does that usually come from underneath or within the walls of the trailer?

Thanks

Had the same problem....an old lady told us to place several cups of full-strength vinegar throughout the house....took about a week, but it sure worked good for us.

Leave the A/C on a high temp so it cycles on every now and then. Just enough to keep the humidity knocked down in the house.

friend of mine bought a house with a musty, cigarrette smell and sprayed all the rooms with white vinegar. after a couple days, the mustiness and cigarrette smell had gone away.

+1000 on the white vinegar. But it will come back if you do not cycle air at least once per week.....

Vinegar and we put a couple bags of open charcoal in the rooms, pulled the funk out well
