SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
2-8
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, but 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.
Monitor your motor home. Periodically check
those hidden areas in corners, closets, and
cabinets to assure mold is not present.
What if I Find Mold?
If mold develops, clean the area with a
concentrate of soap and bleach. Items that
contain mold that cannot be cleaned should be
removed from the vehicle.
Can Mold Harm Me?
The effects of mold and airborne mold spores
may cause irritation to some people. Experts
disagree on the level of exposure that may cause
health concerns.
If Mold Is Present, What Will
Winnebago Industries

Do?
If Winnebago Industries determines that mold
is present in the Winnebago
