I seem to have traced a disagreeable odor down the upper bunk foam in my 90 Westy... I took the covers off the foam and washed them... There are not visible stains on the foam itself so my guess is that the odor is a 'natural' off-gassing of the foam material itself... But, it's interesting that the lower bunk foam that covers the engine hatch does not smell... also, it is a different color... green... while the upper bunk foam is yellowish... So... my questions are: 1. Can foam be deodorized? Can the off-gassing be stopped/neutralized? 2. Can I buy new foam that is non-off-gassing??? 3. Where can I buy any foam the right thickness... 1 3/4" for the forward piece and 2" for the aft piece... This is pretty important to me since I am chemically sensitive and smells like this can put me into a 3 day migraine... Thanks, Bill |
