You have a real problem here. Mice urine is the worst. I had this problem with an oven in a rental!! We took the oven apart, replaced all the insullation and washed it down in and out and ended up throwing it out and buying a new one. Next we had stuffed furniture in storage and the squirrels got in and not only tore some of it up, but deficated all over everything. I salvaged a couch and love seat by taking them into a professional cleaning place I trusted. That worked, but on a van athere are so many crevices and nitches. Anywhere the urine seeps into any kind of absorbing fibers it will stay - and keep smelling - but I don't know if that goes on for some time then eventually stops. Houses have this problem when rats get into the walls and make nests. I recommend you talk to a US agricultural service extension office and a mortician. The mortician idea sounds wierd I know, but morticians have some products they use to rid smell. A friend of mine got some spray one time that did the trick (but not on mice). Maybe that new product Fabrize is the off shoot of a mortician!! Just a couple of ideas. Good luck. Madeline 15 Years of Westie Adventures '90 Syncro Westie
