My Camper is one that was saved after it burned out in the rear area.
Washed off all I could, changed all that needed, shampooed all that I had
to, rubbed and scrubbed.  Finally I installed some scent that I liked and
that changed the smoke smell into a new acceptable one.
After years now the old smell is a new one of "new car" smell.  At the
beginning you need to let it air quite a lot.
