(Preview)
I have a couple of trips to Canberra for work coming up, and the diesel heater in our van is great for chilly nights. But it struggles with -5C Canberra nights!

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.
