Removing Mothball Smell

How can I remove a strong moth ball odor from a pop-up-camper? I'm asking for a family member who has a 2 year old and they bought a used camper thinking the smell would dissipate. I'm going to tell her about charcoal, baking soda and vanilla.

I would think they don't just want to mask the odor, but eliminate it completely. I've read that naphthalene is a suspected toxin. I would love your ideas on what to tell her to make this camper safe. Thanks.

RE: Removing Mothball Smell

I use mothballs all the time in storing clothing (esp wool ones) and in our RV over the winter. Usually just opening everything up for a couple days-windows open and such the odor is gone. Have they tried airing it out it outside; not in a garage, but outside in the sun?
