New owner of C11
Hello all, I have just driven home from Minnesota to California in a '69 C11 on an '82 Ford F250 Camper Special. We cruised across the Great Plains quite nicely, just missing that first big cold front of the year!
The rig is in reasonably good condition. Dated, of course, but apparently sound. The PO loved silicone caulking! Everything is slathered!
A couple of things concern me as I pulled out the (very 60s) orange plaid shag textured carpet that was on the floor and some walls. I found mold under the carpet in the floor of the wardrobe closet. This got me wondering about mold in general in these rigs. Can it get established and grow in the insulation between the inner and outer shells? How have you who have been down the restoration road before me dealt with mold? I am hoping to repair and refresh as necessary but not engage in an entire restoration as some of you have done with such skill. Dies mold on the rear floor mean mold elsewhere? All advise and suggestions welcomed! This board is a fantastic resource and I expect to become a regular visitor.
