Has any one come across damp spores white fluffy on the face of Melanie face doors and panels. I have just noticed this today when I was checking out the van. I have always had bowls with salt in cupboards and newspapers down with all doors and vents left open to air the van. This is the first time I've seen this in 6 years of caravan inn. Any suggestions ? Thanks intent

Have you had it in the dark? It maybe because of this, I always think they need to be relatively light inside.

The only time I ever noticed this was when I had a cover on the van

I usually have the blinds down but leave the small heki in the bedroom uncovered and the big heki in the living area only covered with the tinted flyblind.

I'm sure lack of light can do it as nora said it only happened when they had the cover on, but then I'm sure there will be others that say they have covered theirs and not had a problem.

You should not have the blinds down as it stretches the springs and the blinds dont go up the full way.

Its been a really damp winter this year and air inside the van has been damp too.I have opened the curtains for the last two years letting the sun get in and what a difference this has made to not getting condensation.

I had this problem in the FC.

A wipe down with Pledge and then a polish off cured this.

I had some mould in one of my drawers. Turned out to be my wooden spoon. There was obviously a trace of food stuff left on it with it being porous and got a coating of mould on it and also the drawer got some spotting too.
