 Hi 

      We have a 20year old van which the last owners had from new, Last September while reversing it on a wooded site a branch caught the corner of caravan and dented the aluminium, They then put Caravan away for the winter this Spring we borrowed it for a week`s break and found inside smelling really musty Checked for damp and found that the  branch had moved the aluminium slightly and damp must have got in/ Stripped resealed inside and out now completely waterproof  BUT smell still lingers. We use it a week a month and have heating on windows etc open as much as possible and it is getting fainter Any suggestions please to eliminate it completley
