Er, I think you would be better with Cat litter trays filled with ordinary common supermarket salt, one for the front and one for the rear of your caravan, and I suppose an evtra one under any bed box thats giving trouble.

I have used this method to keep my caravans interior fresh and dry over winter for a number of years, and indeed, my new Elddis's handbook recomends this method as well.

Perhaps best to wipe away as much visible mildew and mould as possible using a damp cloth soaked in diluted Milton solution, but dont allow this to come into contact with any carpet, curtains or upholstry as it has the ability to bleach and fade the colours. For soft furnishings either wash in the washing machine for curtains, scatter cushions ect, use a mould inhibiting carpet shampoo for upholstry and carpets, or better still replace carpets with new, which is not that expensive for a good DIY person to do.

Salt is also highly corrosive. It even eats concrete as subtantated by the dip in my garage floor where a bag of salt was once stored.
