I will be storing my 5th wheel in central Florida Mid-April thru September. Should I be concerned about mold and mildew with the high temperatures and humidity? Is there something I should do to prep it for storage?
 
If you can get to it regularly to empty, a dehumidifier would be good. Maybe leave a vent cracked open to allow humidity to escape. If humid outside your best bet is sa good dehumidifier. Some let a hose drain it ito the grey tank via the shower. I would still check on it from time to time. I also use Damprid in mine summer and winter.
 
Use a desiccant in a basket in the sink and shower. West Marine sells a dehumidifier that uses the stuff, no electric needed.
 
If you have access to power, leave an AC on 78 to dehumidify the rig.
 
Prop up your mattress and cushions & open all cabinet doors and drawers to let air circulate.
