Mold on walls
We bought a 21C sight unseen from Washington state. There is a little mold that has developed where the cushions touch the vinyl walls. We have tried vinegar and alcohol but nothing really is touching the stains. Anyone have suggestions?

1/2 cup bleach
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup warm water
Put in spray bottle, mist spray affected area, do not scrub. This worked well on our last trailer canvass.
Spot test first.

This sounds good, but I would apply with a sponge instead of a spray, unless you’ve completely removed the cushions (to protect the upholstery from that bleach). Good luck with it!

An acid like vinegar added to bleach will produce chlorine gas. I would be careful with that combo.

Try Concrobium mold stain remover. I used it on a tent and it was incredible. You spray it on (a two part solution), let it sit for 24 hours and voila it is done. No scrubbing. For really stubborn stains you might have to do it twice. For my tent I tried everything under the sun, vinegar, lemon juice, elbow grease etc and nothing worked. But this stuff was fantastic.

Mold is from moisture. Run your A/C with the camper closed up. This will dehumidify it. Use the cleaning solution (I like dilute dawn and bleach). Buy an inexpensive ozone machine to deodorize your camper. Run it on several cycles.
Rinse repeat

Just use a diluted bleach solution. No need to add anything else. Bleach is what kills the mold.

Hi: sbbcc... You could try Lysol Wipes. I'd use rubber gloves while you work. Alf

Mold
If the stain is on the vinyl a magic eraser combined with some of the cleaners mentioned above might help.
