The ozone works by oxidizing everything it comes in contact with.

It is well known that leakage of ozone generated either by UV or electrical discharge spark and used in hot tubs (for biological / sanitizing reasons instead of chlorine) tends to destroy rubber / silicone sealing in the tub enclosure / housing very quickly. CAUTION IS IN ORDER whenever there is not sufficient air movement to dilute the ozone concentration. It is very effective in removing odors, but at a long term cost / risk.

Yet there is nothing else like it for removing old trailer funk. Allowing Uncle Lester to park a trailer out back of Cousin Myrtles place and "living" in it for the six years before he passed . . . well, we can all be grateful for commercial ozone generators to change the aura, the halo, hello, the stink.

Great info on eliminating odors... Thanks!

Does it get rid of them long term or do the odors come back?

From my experience with using one for 4 years the odor does not come back unless the source of the odor remains. Off gassing from carpet, for example, will continue until the carpet is removed or it "runs out of gas". I used the ozone generator in my house after new carpet was installed, for about 3 years off and on, more in the hot summer. Research how ozone works and you will see. It will neutralize perfumed deodorants in a motel room until they spray the room again.

I've learned that many "older" rigs may have mice/rodent infestation between the skins of the trailer... tough smell to deal with for sure.
