Hello LifeInTheSnailLane,
I saw your post and wanted to respond as I could tell you are very concerned about the mold problem and I'm getting ready to investigate this, myself, on a 96 Fleetwood Bounder coach that I just purchased and am getting ready to rehab.
What you should do to investigate the "unknown" about whether you have to take off the whole roof area is simply remove the trim panel pieces to ANY roof vents (from inside the coach, easy and underneath the roof vents) and see if the exposed wood has the same mold spores in the wood.
That would be my first step of investigation.
My second step would be to see if you can open any cabinets and find mold spores inside the kitchen cabinets etc?
Then, third, in terms of how to kill the mold you can do so by just using simple kitchen bleach mixed with water to more than a 50/50 ratio and that will kill anything.
Give those items a shot and let me know how it goes!
You were right. I unscrewed the trim surrounding the roof vent. I found black sediment just like in the closet ceiling.
