I was just checking our Campervan for a trip and found some gungy black mould! It was between the bed mattress and the fridge, so maybe caused by the warmth of the fridge (it stays on while parked up). Thankfully easy to clean up and no damage. Would it be worth leaving a de-humidifier going in the van whe...
