m-h,
Glad to here you enjoyed the camper so much, and yes, spoiled we are. I think that smell you're noticing is in the wood and vinyl and is present in every new camper. I've aired ours out constantly for the last 2 years and it's finally gone. Also, it's fairly novel to see clouds in the mountains since we've hardly seen any rain this summer. Thanks for the pix.
Going back to your thoughts on the photo-vinyl interior, I felt the same way about the fake wood and really still do but have just let go for now. The camper seems too new to be ripping it apart (any more than I already have). If it was a beater and needed renovation I'd be glad to replace the interior finish.
