I have noticed the start of mold showing on the bedrooms of our SV8, not sure how as its been put away dry every time? but its not bad at all but dont want it to spread. Any ideas how to remove it? are the bedroom compartments machine washable?

Any ideas would be great thanks

I have washed bedroom pods in the machine before and there was no problem but it was a canvass tent. But I can't see the a modern polyester tent would be more difficult.

I'm not sure how you'd remove it (although a gentle, machine wash would probably be ok for an inner) but Milton sterilising fluid will kill the mould and at least prevent it spreading.

You could try using a bar of Vanish soap, I had some mould on my tent and that worked a treat!

I have had the same problem with my SV8, I washed the pods in the machine without a problem then I used a tiny bit of Milton sterilising fluid in water to get any other spots I could find.

You have to be careful with SV8's as condensation seems to collect under the pods and when you put it away you think it's dry but even a bit of condensation can play havoc in a warm tent bag.

Great choice of tent though.
