Musty odor removal after winter storage

[Msmith2054]

Just picked up my TT from storage and wow! Really musty and some mildew on flat vertical surfaces. Best ideas to correct this issue? No moisture that I can determine anywhere. I blew all the lines out and drained all the tanks before parking it. TIA

I would check for any signs of water leaks first. Musty and Mildew is IMO a good sign of water intrusion somewhere. Did you have any type of Dehumidifier in the TT , like damp rid and the top bath fan vent cover slightly opened??

Try vinegar.

Yeah, thought about putting Damp Rid in when I put it up for the winter. I live on the coast and is always humid here, but only averages 98.9% year round. While cleaning, I did notice that all wood doors are swollen and will not close well. I’m ruining the a/c to dehumidify and will add Damp Rid tonight as we are headed out tomorrow. Progress being made, smells better already. Used Lysol wipes to wipe everything down, now misting with vinegar.
