Do you have mold? You are from Socal so i am guessing not after just a short in in PNW...
Mold is bad, and Black Mold is very bad - you will be the sick ones if you get black mold, but if you are living in it then highly unlikely to get mold. Mold usually happens when the RV is closed up for a long time.
As stated, keep air circulating especially in those compartments and behind the walls or wherever there is an air cavity.
On mine I will open the access door and run the exhaust fan to force air through the wall cavity spaces and the space where the water tank and utilities are (I open that up too). That keeps it from getting a musty odor. If you do not have that odor, then you should not have the mold.
Heating the RV will raise temps and lower humidity because hot air can hold more moisture without the air being humid.
