Cold weather condensation in tough spot...
Well this is our first season in the 5th wheel in freezing temperatures and it has been fun, but a bit challenging. Already had the 10' poop-cycle, freezing water lines, frozen fridge and all the joy...

well I dug a little deeper and took up the plywood platform that the bed lays on to see what I might be dealing with, not good.

Well, as you can see, not good. I had just replaced the plywood platform about 2 months ago too. It was sagging in the middle from the weight of us sleeping. None of this mold was on that slide out board. So not sure what to do. I'm a bit worried it is up in the walls too.
Can I just paint some "KILZ" paint on top to seal it in? Does the whole slide out need to be replaced? Will insurance cover something like that? Needless to say the DW is a bit concerned, as am I. I've done a lot of repairs, mods and what have you to our rig, but this one gets me a bit nervous.
