Anyone have mold issues?

Anyone?

You will only get mold if you have a leak. Even that will only be an issue if don't take care if it promptly. Proper maintenance is key. You won't get mold just because you have a slide.

No. Off gassing kills the mold.

Two campers ago we discovered mold in the corner of the slideout floor. The camper had been parked and rarely used on a seasonal lot. It wasn't level. The leaking had also caused the floor to rot and the walls to soften. None of it was noticeable at a glance. We had to touch the area to find the damage. Surprisingly, the dealer still took it in trade anyway.

With the rainy summer we have had here in GA we have had some mold issues in our trailer this summer. It has not been used since summer 2012. We had mold on our chair bags and some of the sink. We do not have any water issues coming in just the high humidity here.

Last weekend I tool clorox and cleaned everything in the trailer and washed all the bedding and cleaned the carpets to get out the closed up damp smell. We put out some damp rid to absorb the moisture. We have used these in the past with great success don't know why we didn't put any in sooner.

But all taken care of now and smelling good.

I like the dehumidifier idea, as we live in humid GA.

It has been really humid. Haven't camped since the 4th of July, tho kids/grandkids spent the night in it a couple of weeks ago.I have had a window open (the "escape" one by the bed that is at an angle when open), a box of dry rid, and a box fan running since they left.

Cleaned the TT tonight for the Labor Day trip and slight mold in the fridge and toilet. Sigh.

But, that just tells me I need to camp more. This will be our 3rd trip as it has been hard to get away - either time and no money, or money and no time issues.

A Biocide treatment will kill the mold (maybe two if conditions are bad) and take away the damp musty smell. Then we keep Damp Rid in the trailer at all times during storage. Change it when needed (more often in summer heat). Of course we do yearly carpet and sofa shampooing and don't have mold problems. In humid areas like FL you have to stay ahead of the problem.

Georgia has been especially wet this year its also been hot and humid. I have O leaks and yes we found mold just prior to going out this weekend spent hours looking for any leaks anywhere and found none. Should be camping more I guess
