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...

Hi,
Cut two holes at opposite ends. Put a 12 volt computer fan in one to suck air from the enclosure.
Yup, good one, maybe even two fans, one blowing in and one out.
Mold needs three things to exist--proper temperature, correct humidity, and a compatible surface that offers a food source. Eliminate any one of the three and mold will go away.
Dilute bleach will kill the mold and spores, as will original Lysol cleaner and mouthwash that contains Phenol so you have your choice of residual smell from the mildicide.
Your idea of sealing the plywood with paint is a good one. It will help with any humidity trying to get into the plywood. The key to all of these issues in an RV is ventilation and keeping the humidity low when heating in cold weather. A dehumidifier may prove to be a big help if you're full timing in the Winter.
Good luck with your moisture issues, some of us only wish this was our worst problem.
