Musty smell in an RV, camper or boat after storage

Sealed, unconditioned and humid for months. What to check before your first trip of the season.

Musty smell in an RV, camper or boat after storage in Dallas-Fort Worth

5 min read

A closed RV sitting through a North Dallas summer is a humidity chamber. Cushions, cabinetry and the water system all absorb it.

Check these first

Roof seams and vent seals, the area under the sink, the shower pan, cushion undersides and the fresh water tank.

Treat, then prevent

After treatment, store with vents cracked or a desiccant in place, and keep cushions off the floor.

We come to the storage lot

You do not have to tow it anywhere. We work on site across the Metroplex.

The short version

  • Roof seams and the shower pan are usual suspects
  • Store with airflow to prevent a repeat
  • Mobile service at your storage lot

Want it handled instead?

We treat homes, vehicles, rentals and businesses across Dallas-Fort Worth, usually same or next day. If the odor comes back, so do we.
