This past week saw me in a mild panic. My almost eight year old Tiger had developed a _strong_ smell of mold in the interior! I checked everywhere, and couldn't find any damp spots. I'd had a leak long ago from one of the sliding windows in the cabover, but that wasn't it this time. With visions of dire rot damage dancing in my head, I searched high and low.
I finally tracked it to the 2-gallon bucket that's tied down on the floor of the wet bath, mostly used for away-from-home dumps, mainly to carry 'black tank starter water' in to put thru the toilet. I store a gallon jug of water and a mopping-up sponge in the bucket. It had taken on an inch or so of water last time I showered, and the wet sponge had been sitting partly in that for about 2 weeks with predictable and smelly results. Yes! An easy fix!
Jim, "I'd explain it to you, but I'm all out of puppets and crayons."
