Maybe try running a dehumidifier in the trailer and try to find the source of the moisture. If you find and eliminate the moisture clean it again. Leave the roof vents opened, make sure you have vent covers, and see if it stays clear. If all else fails you'll have to sell it or scrap it. Good luck
X2, The first year after moving back to the coast ours sat pretty much closed up through half of the first summer with no a/c or ventilation running. I did notice the musty smell and some powdery mildew starting on the wood panels on the refrigerator door, I assumed the worst but could not find a leak.

I did start running the air conditioner to bring it under control until I realized a dehumidifier could do the job year round for less. I bought a dehumidifier and leave it running pretty much year round. We are right on the waterfront so it is always moist.
Before you take a hit on it I would at least try to dry it out and see if that takes care of the issue.
It worked for us, no more musty smell, I keep the dehumidifier set at 35 percent and the original wood smell has returned.
