My biggest fear is the formaldehyde smell produced by new trailers. I'm afraid it will overwhelm his respiratory system and kill him. Does any body have any advice, thoughts, experience? I'm not speaking of a motorhome I'm talking a trailer in a trailer park you know a stationary trailer.

I thought of this then also found the same on 3 Health Risks Of Mobile Homes & How To Avoid Them


One of the best ways for avoiding too much exposure to formaldehyde is to open the windows in your mobile home and air out the entire house. If you notice sensitivities while inside your manufactured home, spending more time outside, is another option.

Obviously, no one wants to keep their windows open or be outside when it’s 10 below, so you might want to consider buying an air purifier with an activated carbon filter. It may seem unnecessary to spend so much on an air purifier, but good health is more important than money! And for you plant lovers out there, the Areca Palm will be right up your alley. Not only does it add a bit of outdoors to your indoors, but it removes toxins such as formaldehyde from your home.
