That is a good reason to ensure ventilation. When storing, get the big bucket Damp Rid moisture absorber from your preferred source and put that inside to reduce the excess moisture inside the trailer.

Sounds like condensation and not a leak and on hard plastic surfaces?
If so, try spraying 1 part bleach to 4 parts water to kill the mold/mildew before trying to replace anything. I have used a 1/4 cup bleach with one cup water in a spray bottle and mist affected areas. This might take a couple applications over a couple days. If you are actively using the R-pod you will want to run the fan. Use long sleeve shirt you don’t care about getting bleach spots on and gloves to avoid getting the bleach spray on your skin. I have had good luck with this on bathroom ceilings where mold has formed due to moisture from the shower. |

I have a 2019 rpod 190, just found mold on the bathroom ceiling around the fan and shower dome ... there was condensation in the dome area (between the interior white dome and the exterior clear dome) ... I think it was due to water pooling on the cover that I had put during the winter season :/
Any suggestions on how to a) Replace/reseal exterior weather sealing (to make sure there are no water leaks) and b) Replacing the interior ceiling vinyl (no idea if that can be scrapped ... wondering if anyone knows how is this actually built) Thank you in advance for any tips! Andres
