May not have been caused by a leak alone. Using any RV in cold weather and not adequately removing moisture laden air will lead to rot & mold. I would say a metal-skinned RV would be more susceptible to condensation on the interior side of the exterior skin. Some seal up an RV in an attempt to conserve heat but that can simply make things worse. A poorly insulated RV, which most are, also contributes to the problem. There are many types of mold as listed here. You might consider having a mold professional look at it.
Mold can be extremely toxic and in some cases cause serious permanent health issues. Not something to be taken lightly. A topical application of a chemical like say bleach will not get rid of it all. Gutting may be the only sure answer but depends on mold type and extent of it. Until you know what type of mold it is, I wouldn't go inside it unless properly suited up. Unless you are emotionally attached to the camper, a new one could be the easiest route. You could always strip it out and then sell it.
