My 1988 Excella has the vinyl coated walls and like all vinyl it does become sticky over time. When I asked the same question several months ago, someone in the forum suggested a product called Westley's Bleach White, a product most commonly used to clean white sidewall tires on your car. It's low cost and worked great on my RV without a lot of work. You can buy it a just about all stores that sell any auto cleaning or maintenance products. Like any other product, test it on your RV in a small spot first.

After it's clean, you might want to apply a couple of coats of "Future floor acrylic" to it.

You will be amazed of how great it will look.

You can roll it on, spray it on, or brush it on.

Every grocery store sells it.

After it's on, all you need to do is just wash an area, since it's good enough for kitchen floors.

What do I do if my vinyl has potential mold damage? Can the Vinyl even get mold damage since it is just glued to the aluminum walls?

Insight would be fantastic :-)

I used "Simple Green" full strength with one of the sponges that has Scotch Brite on one side. Worked in small areas and rinsed frequently in fresh water.
There was nicotine, cooking grease and every other thing you can imagine on the walls. Cleaned every surface including in and behind cabinets over a year ago and it still smells fresh when I enter the trailer.
