For you guys that keep a trailer or mobile home at your hunting club year around. what are some ideas you have to keep mildew or mold out? I just bought one that has been there for a few years and cleaned a lot of mildew and mold out. So I am looking for ideas to keep moisture out and keep the trailer dry. thanks in advance for your help.

Keep it dry inside.

We have a older 5th wheel at our land. Covered awning. The sun is just evil on those roofs. Always......always shut the water off and make sure the black water tank is empty. A solar powered fan is helpful too.

Try using Damp Rid to remove moisture from the air.

Best thing I ever did was pull the carpet out of the bedroom and put in linoleum. Made a huge difference.

I second the damp rid. I also use those smell good gel bucket things. Place a couple in each room and replace them every 3 months.

Honestly, the best thing is to just use it as often as possible and keep some screens on the windows so when the weather is nice you can air it out.

This stuff works very well.

Seal every seam you can find remember water seeks it's own level, then use at least a couple of Damp Rid canisters

Put a metal roof over it.

I use to by a big bag of 100% natural charcoal and lay it in the floor, with it cut open and exposed. The charcoal will help absorb the moisture and odor. It made a big difference. May take more than one bag. You will also need to swap it out every few months.

I have a dehumidifier I run when I'm not there. In the summer the water reservoir is always full if I check it weekly. That's a lot of moisture removed.

I keep a dehumidifier running 24/7. I also put the air on auto cool and set at 85 degrees. Like has already been mentioned seal everything up good, leave no food of any kind out and put up no pest strips.

Damp Rid, air it out about once every 2-3 months, place under a roof if possible.

We used damp rid. Stuff works. Our old hunting camper stuck out about 2 feet from under our covering on one end. Roof got soft but never leaked. I flex sealed it with tape and caulk every year. That end of camper would get moisture no matter what we did. Kept it ventilated, had a dehumidifier, and used the damp rid. Still had some mildew smell. I was always amazed at how much water would be in those trays whenever I’d go check on them. If u see yourself staying in the camp, invest in a covering that will completely cover the camper with room to spare.

you need somethingto keep humidity down whether you install a dehumidifier and drain it thru the wall or just keep the AC set around 80 while you are away they will both serve the same purpose. mold will start growing over 50% humidity and in the summer time in AL we normally have 70%-90% something has to pump out that moisture. FYI I bought two GE 45 quart dehumidifiers at homedepot on clearance for $74 each normally $275 two weeks ago you might want to check and see if they are clearing them out at any other locations.

Leave the AC on set on 80 and begals roach spray for the lady bugs and wasp that find a way in somewhere.

I keep the AC set at 80 when not occupied. Cool seal the roof every other year.

I leave my AC set on 80. I've used damp dry in the past and it works. Also, building a cover over the camper is a good way to make it last and will keep the camper cooler. I also, do n't leave my slide out when I am not there. I pull it in every time I leave.

Also, I throw dryer sheets all over my camper after hunting season.

Not only does keep your camper from smelling musty, it keeps bugs and mice out.
