"Last night we put up the tent (first time this year) and I see plastic

some but not as much on the ceiling fabric. I know they did check and patch
some leaks before they but the new fabric on. Could this be a leak again?
What do you use to clean the fabric that will get rid of the mildew/mold?"

This is a fact of life here in the NW, especially if the van is stored
outside and not driven much in the winter.  Best way to clean is with a home
carpet/upholstery cleaning machine with a good upholstery detergent.  Mine
needs cleaning every year, and this time I'm going to try a mold inhibitor:
