A major cause of mold and mildew is long term storage. Keeping a trailer or camper locked down or under a tarp, can create a very efficient mold and mildew incubator.
Even an RV that is used year round and never put into storage is not immune from mold and mildew. This is because full-time RVers tend to follow the sun to warmer climates which encourages endless mold and mildew growth – especially for those touring Florida and Texas.”
For RV owners these three steps can help keep the problem under control:
1) Inspect – Look for early signs of mold and mildew in places such as shower areas, underneath sinks and stoves, gel coat exteriors, storage compartments, caulking and molding (around windows, doors and sunroofs) ceilings, ceiling vents, vinyl awnings, water and sewerage hook-ups, and refrigerators, dishwashers and washing machines that have not been used for extended periods.
2) Repair – Fix plumbing leaks, drain clogs, roof leaks, damaged caulking or molding and poor bathroom ventilation that can encourage mold and mildew growth.
3) Remove – Treat emerging mold thoroughly with a multi-purpose stain/mildew remover.

we have a titanium 5th wheel that collects moisture between the walls in the nosecap-bedroom area. It drips down between the walls and gets the mattress wet. When RV repair took the screws off outside, water poured out of the screw holes and everything between the walls had black mold. the inside is dry except the wooden bed platform, near the wall where between wall moisture wicks onto the wood.
I bought a new motor home and the first month we had leaks and we smelled mildew. The leaks kept coming and we never left the dealer, Lazy Days, until 4 months after purchase. I got sick for 2 months and we still were taking the rv back for leak repairs. Eight months after purchase we had a mold inspection and there were high amounts of 2 toxic molds in the bedroom alone. The Lemon Law did not work. The dealer refused to fix it anymore and now the manufacturer (Monaco) has filed Chap 11. I have a payment and an RV I am unable to safely use, and cannot sell to some other unsuspecting buyer.
