I have sensitivity to mold as well, and spent most of my life in Fl.
Mold spores are everywhere due to the tropical climate. The problem comes when they have an opportunity to flourish (anything that stays wet/damp creates that opportunity).
The best thing you can do is make sure to keep the environment as dry as possible. Make sure you run the a/c, use the fan in your bathroom when showering, toss wet towels in the dryer (it takes forever for a towel to dry if it's just hanging on the towel rack), use damprid or get a dehumidifier,run a floor fan to keep air moving, etc.
Also, be vigilant with checking for leaks in your RV. Water in dark places, along with the heat, is the ideal place for mold to grow, and it can grow quickly and become a big problem.
