Re: Mold on dinette frame under cushions
Not really at all, no. And the previous owner stored the unit was stored with all doors shut, so the one hole in the under-bench storage cubby that gives access to the hot water heater was closed in quite tightly. We plan to cut holes in the top panel to better ventilate going forward.1.5KViews1like0CommentsRe: Mold on dinette frame under cushions
What's noteworthy is that there is no mold in the joint between the frame and wall. Only surface mold in the form of black spots at the top and bottom of the panel that's the dinette seat and the same surface black spots on the top of the frame. The most severe mold (extensive, fuzzy growth) is on the "inside" lip of the frame and on the underside.1.5KViews0likes0CommentsMold on dinette frame under cushions
We recently purchased a new-to-us 2020 Adventurer 89RB, used all of 6 times by the original owner. While looking in all the nooks and crannies to get to know our new truck camper, we discovered surface mold on the wooden seat base under the cushion of the left-hand dinette, along the outside wall and a little into the corner by the fridge. Unscrewing the panel uncovered mold along the top and bottom of the wood frame structure that the wooden seat base sits on, in the same areas (along the outside wall and onto the fridge wall). The cavity underneath that dinette seat holds the hot water heater and a duct from the fridge. Close inspection shows no watermarks on the window or wall above that area, nor signs of drips or pooling underneath or around the water heater. Could it be that the water heater itself is a source of condensation in that area? Has anyone else had mold in that area and know what caused it? The goal is to address whatever the source of it is and prevent it from recurring in the future...1.9KViews0likes16Comments
