SAFETY / PRECAUTIONS
MOLD, MOISTURE AND YOUR
MOTOR HOME
What is Mold?
Molds are part of the natural environment.
They are as old as the Earth itself. And mold
spores are almost everywhere at some level
waiting to grow. Mold plays a part of nature by
breaking down dead organic matter such a fallen
leaves and dead trees. Indoors, however, mold
growth should be avoided. Molds reproduce by
means of tiny spores. Those spores are invisible
to the naked eye and float throughout the outdoor
and indoor air. Because of the nature of the use of
a motor home, it is natural for a motor home to be
introduced into an environment with mold
spores.
Mold is a plant and requires its own special
environment to grow. That environment includes
organic materials, nutrients, moisture, and proper
temperature.
How Can I Avoid Mold?
To reduce the ability for mold to grow, you
must reduce what constitutes its growth
environment. Mold can grow with the smallest of
a nutrient base. Just small amounts of dirt or dust
on the carpet can be enough to allow the mold
process to begin. Keep the environment as clean
as possible. Vacuum the carpet. Clean food spills
thoroughly and quickly. Avoid grease buildup
near the stove or sink. Clean the exhaust fan
above the stove often.
Minimize moisture in your motor home and
keep humidity low. Clean spills quickly. Do not
allow condensation to build up. You can open
windows and vents to minimize condensation.
Use of the air conditioner can assist in removing
moisture from the air. Avoid leaks and if leaks do
occur, make repairs promptly.
Avoid bringing mold into your motor home.
Plants, cloths, books, and other household items
may already have mold present. It is easy to
transfer mold into your motor home
environment.
