Mildew during 5th wheel storage
We plan to store our 5th wheel for 6 months in central Florida and 6 months near Pigeon Forge, TN. There will be no electricity and we have a Adco Tyvek cover.
Other blogs are mixed on leaving vents open to prevent mold & mildew. We live in Atlanta and now store it there without the cover and vents closed but had mildew until adding the bags of drip-rid and checking it monthly.
When I store it out of state I will be able to check every 3 months. Winter storage in Florida might not be a problem using drip-rid but summer storage in Pigeon Forge most likely will be since not being able to check for 3 months.
The question is do I leave the vents open with cover on and best dehumidifying to use?
Thanks
