When we had the TT, I opened the vents (under MaxAire covers) and cracked one window. In 12 winters in Ohio and WV, never a problem with mildew. This after camping in late fall and thus starting storage with a lot of moisture inside.
Cold winter air holds very little moisture. Warm air (especially in Ohio, less so here in the mountains) holds a lot of moisture. The last thing you want to do is shut an RV up tight with moist air trapped inside when the weather is getting colder.
Ventilate! So long as the excess moisture can find its way out, it will try to do so. No excess moisture, no mildew.
