Florida for those sensitive to mold
I am pretty sensitive (allergic) to mold. Over the years, I've stayed in two usually empty in-law apartments in the Keys, and a closed-all-summer park model in Winter Haven. All of them had the mold...

We are snowbirders who leave our travel trailer in Key largo all summer long.
We heard all the bad stuff about mold, leaving the trailer ventilated, etc. etc which all is false and wrong. Our neighbors who all have been here for many years clued us.
1. Don't waste your money on "Damp Rid". it won't help a bit.
2. the RV dealers carry a mold deterrent that you place (pouches) on the floor just before leaving. There are two different brands and one is more noxious then the other.
Here is the kicker. You keep the RV as tight as possible with no ventilation. If you leave a vent open you will defeat how they work.
When you come back in the fall, you air the RV out for several hours.
It works and we along with all our neighbors don't ever get any mold or moldy smell.
And zero bugs
