Subject:      mold in pop top in north west moist winter climate?
Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

So I have not had the pop top up in a few mths
best as i can tell it does not leak water but today is sunny so i felt
it would be a good time to air it out..

There are some small mold spots starting to appear from the
point where the upper bunk folds over all the way to the rear of the pop
top.

I assume this must be an air circulation issue,
so what to others in the north wests moist climate
do that park the westy outside over the winter
I drive it maybe once a week at this time of year.

-remove the upper mattress to allow some air circulation
-treat the pop top with some type of anti-mold goop ?? any brands you use
-cut ventilation holes in the side of the pop top ??
-pop the top any time it looks like sun in the NW, yah sure :)

what other tricks to make sure when spring comes no tell tale black spots ?
