Subject:Stinky Eurovan - can it be saved?
From:Christine Castigliano

Hello,

I'm seriously considering importing a Canadian EV, a 92, true westy
conversion. Our fellow listee, Kelly Bauman, was kind enough to check it out
for us, saving us the trip from Seattle.

It appears to be mechanically well cared-for, but the interior was less than
primo. Kelly caught the scent of a deodorizer, and up in the poptop, he picked
up the unmistakable stench of one of our least favorite bodily odors: urine.

I assume we can replace the mattress pad. My husband is afraid the smell may
have leached into the underside of the poptop itself, or otherwise infiltrated
the interior.

Does anybody out there have any experience with this?

thanks,
christine
