This may be a job for the pros if you want to spend the money to save it OR drive it to the nearest junkyard. The mold has got to be BEHIND the walls as well as in front of them.
There is no reason for this to be true. Mold inside walls comes from leaks in the roof or plumbing. An RV with mold on the inside is going to have it only on the inside.
The problem with removing it is when it gets into carpet or fabric. Easier to rip out the fabric and replace it but thoroughly cleaning all the interior surface as much as possible before putting in the new carpet or curtains or bedding or cushions.
It may be more of a problem for RV's in Florida but it is a problem for boat owners almost everywhere. I have used a heating unit to keep air circulating along with a desiccant that is regularly replaced. If you cannot run power to an electric dehumidifier a good alternative is the WM Barr container and absorbent refills. A full charge will last several months where I live and might last a full month in Florida or add more Barr containers as they only cost $10 and refills are only $8.
