Welcome and yes " Off Gasing" is a problem for a while. Open it up as much as you can. Happens to me every year when I spend the day at the RV show. I bought used so I didn't have those symptoms but I still like to keep it aired out.

Welcome. As others have said, get the windows and vents open as much as possible. MY 2017 really aired out after the first 2 weeks.

Welcome to the forum. As others have said it will air out. To speed the process, if you can hook up to shore power at home, put a fan at the door blowing in the coach and open and run the ceiling vent fan in the bathroom and it will pull air out faster than just opening the windows.
You are lucky, this will pass. The whole state of Texas does that to me and it is much harder to air out.

Welcome from NYS! The "New Trailer Smell" will lessen, and I don't think formaldehyde is used as much as times past. Maybe a combination of adhesives and chemicals used in the manufacture of things inside, like furniture and appliances.

Congratulations and welcome! X2 on opening everything up.

With the installation of 2 vent covers we keep them open all the time; makes a big difference. TT stays fresh smelling.

Congratulations and welcome!
X2 on wanderlust's suggestion for vent covers. We open the roof vent in the spring and generally don't close it again until snow flies
