Looks like we might have a mold problem behind the pantry/fridge combo. Not looking forward to moving out the pantry/fridge and wall coverings. We were hoping to camp this summer but it might not happen now. We think it's from the air conditioner. What a bummer☹️ That is all.
Do you know what a learning experience is? A learning experience is one of those things that says "You know that thing that you just did? Don't do that."
We had mold inside the pantry cabinets and you can see it in the ceiling seems. When you walk in the trailer you can smell it too. We sprayed down the walls and cabinets with mold killer. Now we're running the air conditioner to dry out the trailer. We didn't notice it when we bought it. It was 20 dg out and it just smelled stale. We finally got warmth and sun. It heated up the trailer and now you can smell it. Makes you cough. Really hoping it was just inside.

Chances are you have a leak up at where the rooftop fridge scoop is. I would recommend removing both the plastic scoop and the internal aluminum ring cleaning them both up of all their old sealant and resealing and re-setting them. Then the Tilex mold and mildew bathroom spray used with Mr. Clean magic erasers does wonders on cleaning the vinyl covered walls.
