Keystone recommends putting the furnace on...not too hot, but temp inside little higher then on the outside...and i combine the furnace with a dehumidifier...

On the three travel trailers I’ve owned there was an access panel right at the base of the shower or tub. This would give access to the drain and any pipes under the tub or shower.

You might want to take a look at what the "Professionals who remove mold for a living" have to say about using bleach: https://www.servicemaster-restoratio...om/mold-myths/

The first three sentences of the article, (under "Do not use bleach") pretty much explain why.

The OP's tub has an access panel. It's shown in the photo he posted in post #1 in this thread.....

I know...it's just next to the entrance door, on the tub....the hole though is about 3" in diameter... I can hardly see the drain of the tub...but the mold at the outer wall is at the opposite site of the tub...so access is impossible...
On the pic you can see I took the cover of the access off already, but this is at the left side of the tub...outer wall is at the right side of the tub.

Bleach DOES NOT kill mold, it just makes it mad. Bleach also will not penetrate wood products. The cellulose will absorb the water and the bleach will remain on the surface. It is probably the worst thing to use as it gives a false sense of accomplishment.
