    Black blemishes on Fiberglass skin.

    Hi all, my 1998 Aerolite travel trailer has these black (mildew?) spots on its Fiberglass skin. Not as heavy as this example but just as unattractive. It’s most pronounced on the front, back and especially where the roof transitions to the end caps. Can this be restored to original condition...

    black spots on exterior after removing cover

    Need a little help. We just removed the cover off our Alante 29f today and the exterior walls had dark spots all over. I washed the motorhome with an automotive car wash prior to putting the cover on it two months ago. I found a spot that was not too conspicuous and tried numerous products...

    2015 x23b

    I went and got my tools and started to take the dinette framing out so I could get a better look and the entire from wall is soaked and covered in mold. I knew there might be some small water leaks because the lap sealant on the roof was cracked (Eternabonded now), but I was not expecting this...

    NTM found a soft spot

    Recently purchased a 2017 Sunset Trail Super Lite 289 QB. I found a couple of spots where I can tell the floor has been wet before bc of staining under linoleum. I found and fixed the water intrusion in one spot and luckily the floor and wall there is completely solid, no damage. Just some...

    Florida Weather

    Hey fellow Florida skoolies (and other very humid climates), I was wondering what y'all do to keep moisture under control in your skoolie after conversion? My wife and I moved into ours about a month ago, and we're already having a real mold/mildew problem. I think we just got it under control...

    I searched this site to see if it was asked before. When I have time, I'll ask the Admin a few questions about the search engine/index on this site. You might have to use tags to make posts search relevant. In the meantime my RV is, unfortunately, in a north central Florida storage lot for a...

    Foam mattresses, mold, and RV bed platforms

    I'm writing this in the top-level General Discussion thread because it pertains to all lines and models of GD RVs (and probably most other manufacturers, as well). We are full-time in our Reflection 337 and, about a year and a half ago, replaced the OEM mattress with a tri-foam mattress...

    Where to look for mildew/mold

    Our 2005 17' has that horrid mildew/mold smell. We discovered it as we started to put cushions, bedding,etc back in for a trip next week. We've never had this problem before, we've had the trailer 10 years. We didn't really smell it during the winter, we were in and out using the frig a few...

    Mildew on sofa cushions - sun line Que

    Decided to post this here, cuz although this problem happened to my beautiful Que, I thought it might be a universal problem! We live in sunny Northern California, and ordinarily we get little rain and have very low humidity, we experienced about 7 straight days of rain. When I ventured out to...

    Mildew clean-up and preservation of canvas

    Hello, I'm a newbie - a very young Grandma who purchased a 97 Rockwood popup to take her grandsons camping. I haven't even picked up the camper yet - doing that tomorrow. It had some leaks in the roof. Some as a result of the corners of the hard top and some maybe from the air conditioner...

    Killing mildew? Is bleach the only answer?

    I'm new...so bear with me if I ask a question which may have already been addressed here..:blush: We have recently acquired a 1969 29' Ambassador which has been literally 'closed up' for 10 years. The interior seems to not have had any direct water leaks, however, there is tons of mildew from...
