Protecting from Mould

 

Mould is very difficult to clean once a porous surface 
is affected. There are several ways you can prevent 
the occurrence of mould on your caravan.  
Never leave your camper packed away wet. If you 
must leave a campsite with wet canvas or a damn 
interior, be sure to open and dry out your tent 
thoroughly at the very first opportunity when you get 
home. Mould can develop in just a couple of days so 
don’t take the risk. 
When packing up dry, it is important to check under the mattress that there is no build-up of condensation overnight. 
Body heat on a mattress can create enough temperature difference with the exterior for moisture to form under it. If left 
unchecked this can cause mould when your caravan is stored.
