The other cabinets don't seem to have the odor, at least not enough to make the plastic items that is stored in the cabinet taste & smell like the odor.. food as well absorbs the smell. We have tried leaving the doors open but this doesn't help.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on the new-to-you trailer.
Ideas regarding the odor:
Maybe the previous owner stored some strong-smelling chemicals in that cabinet.
If your trailer previous owner used chemicals in the gray water tank AND had no water in the P-trap under the sink, the chemical smell could have originated in the gray tank.
Also, the odor from some construction adhesives can take a while to dissipate if someone made repairs to those cabinets.
