Roof Maintenance
I took the covers off today and noticed the entire roof on my 21" Trail Lite camper is covered in blackish spots. What is that and how to get rid of those?

... just as was my own 2007 C21RBH TrailCruiser. Some units were offered with a factory installed rear wall ladder, some were not ... I intentionally chose one without. The roof membrane is EPDM, those black spots are mold & mildew trapped in dirt, most of which can be cleaned with any commercially available EPDM roof cleaner. I found Thetford Rubber Roof Cleaner worked well. A small amount of bleach in a bucket of hot water along with this roof cleaner or products such as Spic 'n Span, Dawn, etc (any products that doesn't contain petroleum distillates) will help clear the material of mold, though you'll never get rid of all of it.
Thank you SoundGuy. So nice to find someone that also knows this trailer.
I just tried scrubbing with a regular water/bleach solution and did not see any results at all, but those spots look exactly like mold. Will try using some of the recommended cleaners. Are there any impacts of not being able to get these spots off the roof?
