Mildew in the camper. Ugh!
We live in GA and our camper is in unheated storage. There was a leak under the sink at some point and it was fixed. Then we left a window open one time, thinking it would be good to have some air ci...

Thank you. You all have confirmed what I already thought.
Last time we were there, the smell of mildew was evident before I even opened the door. At first, DH insisted he couldn't smell anything (he really thought I'd buy that!) So I swiped my fingers over some of the powdery stuff and showed it to him. Then I invited him to stick his nose into every fabric-covered piece of furniture in the camper. At that point, he declined.
I really don't think we can rehabilitate this camper. I am very leery of spending several hundred dollars (and hours) replacing furniture, mattress, sanding & painting, etc. We do not have a place to store the camper under roof or in a climate controlled space. My fear is that we could go to all the expense and effort to rid the camper of mildew, but the first time it gets dampish (which it does in Georgia, all spring and summer) the mildew is going to be right back in there.
IMO, $500 is decent. This trailer should be condemned and DH just can't hear of it.
