Title: Mold/mildew problem
Post by: rkv_33 on Sep 22, 2006, 10:03 AM
I have a 2005 Surveyor hybrid w/the fold out queen bed. The inside of the fold down started forming moisture dropletts and now we have either mold or mildew on the inside and out. I cleaned the outside w/Full Timers RV Awning cleaner which is supposed to remove mold mildew, as w/most specialty products, it did not.
I called Forest River 2x's to see what cleaner/process they recommend. Have not gotten a call back. I find it hard to believe this is an isolated problem. I want to know that proper way to kill/clean the mold mildew and what product to use to re-waterproof the canvas.
Has anyone had success with cleaning or killing their mold & mildew on the inside & outside?

When I did a search for "mold mildew" using the search button above, I got 37 topics, so it's certanly not an isolated thing.

Since I have no experience myself, that's the best I can give you (but others will have ideas for things that do work).

I'm with you on cleaning Mold/Mildew.  My PU has stuff growing on it also, and I have no idea how to remove it.  I am new to this and am totally clueless.  I hope someone gives us some much needed help fast.  Time is running out, winter is almost here.

P.S. I did a search too, and am in the process of reading ALL OF THEM to figure this out.
