I live farther north, but we have had a very wet summer as well. I keep a temperature / humidity gage in the TT. This year I notice the humidity has been higher than in past years. I'm lucky to have electricity where I store my TT. I've actually purchased a small dehumidifier with an adjustable humidistat on it. I set it for 40% RH. I've been having to dump the 20 quart bucket approx. 1X per week.
As for venting, I agree that airflow helps. My concern is that the outside air is also moist and is likely what is carrying the mold spores into your TT. I open all my windows 1 day a week when I check on the unit and then close everything back up and run the dehumidifier the balance of the week.
This year has been so wet that I actually have moss growing on the north exterior portions of my house which I've never had in the past. I've been cleaning that with 1 part bleach to 5 parts water and a little TSP mixed into it. The solution works well and isn't terribly overpowering to my nose / skin.
Best of luck with the cleaning.
