Intresting you never open any vents and windows. Must have real bad mildew like many we see.
We keep the motorhome closed up only when going down the road ... to keep dust, pollen, smoke, and smog out. We do the same in our personal vehicles when going down the road.
When we are camped with the RV and when the RV is in storage in the back yard ... we have the roof vents open year round (we have roof covers over them) for good air circulation and also keep the roof fan set on automatic so it comes on to draw air through the motorhome whenever it gets above about 80 degrees inside the RV.
The only time we've had mildew in an RV was years ago when we kept an old one in storage in the back yard all closed up during the winter rains and didn't open it up to air out after the rains. :)
