How to remove/kill mold behind RV walls?
I have a 1982 Dodge Xplorer 228 campervan, and recently I noticed some mold growing on the walls of the van.. probably because there is a leak in one of the back bedroom windows.. so I cleaned everyth...

This may not be the perfect fix, but....if it were my camper and I planned to keep it, this is my plan:
Drill some 1/4" holes near the top, center, and floor area around the damaged area.
Get one of the $5 pump up sprayers at Walmart
Mix Clorox and water 50/50.
Then spray into the pre drilled holes (try to keep from getting any spray on fabric or carpet).
Since you can't see inside the walls, you're sort of flying blind, but just try to get as much 50/50 inside the walls as possible.
You might also try to drill a few holes in the floor area behind the walls that will let any excess 50/50 drain.
Finally, air that puppy out! open up every door/window and blow as many fans as possible throughout the camper.
The mold will die when you remove moisture and dark areas, and the clorox will kill it.
Good luck and good camping.
Oh, and I hope all will remember, I said this is what I would do, others may disagree.
