After you do that for a month or so, if you are going to store it, put your bag of charcoal in there.

Reuse baking soda when you store the trailer.

Neighbor does this with his coolers and I'm amazed. If you cannot take good care of what you have, you will not have anything good for very long!!!

Spray everything inside should kill the source of odors.

What I can address is WHY it smells in the first place, and how to PREVENT it in the future. When in storage, make sure that the refrigerator door and freezer door are left OPEN. That lets air circulate in there and keeps the mildew that causes the smell from growing. In 15 years with RVs, I have never had a smell in the fridge or freezer unless I forgot to leave those doors open.
