While I was prepping my van for a road trip, I, unfortunately, found some mold that I had to take care of before traveling! This is definitely different packing for this van road trip since I'm not part-time traveling and part-time in my new home. I have to think more about what to keep in the van and take with me. Spoiler alert: I forgot some crucial items.

𝑨 𝑻𝑰𝑷 𝑭𝑶𝑹 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑭𝑶𝑹 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑭𝑹𝑰𝑮! If you aren’t going to use the frig, after you clean it put some coffee in a sock, tie it off and put it in the frig. No mold will grow and it will smell good like coffee. We did this when we shipped our frig from the states to Panama. It took at least two months to get our household goods and the frig was clean and mold free when it arrived. It was a good idea.

Amber welcome to the wonderful world of part time RVing. It doesn't matter how clean the fridge is, if you turn it off you need to prop it open. Otherwise there will always be mold. We keep doubles of everything in our fifth wheel including condiments/spices ( removed of course during winter storage). Even then it's still a tiresome task to load up for a mere weekend trip. Can't wait till we go full-time where the packing/unpacking madness can come to an end.

I think you’re going to really like being in your van so much more with downsizing all the stuff. anyway, I have been having inertia… That’s about the best way to describe it, and I need to get out and clean up my Winnebago Solis PX. We took it out for San Diego and Joshua tree early January but I am concerned whether they’ll be mold in refrigerator. Anyway, I appreciate your video to help motivate me. I found BodyGroove to and I really enjoy it. I am planning a trip to the desert southwest, and will do a couple of the Texas National parks this spring, including Big Bend.

@cindystout750 The most common reason for fridge mould is rotton food, i.e., the mould fed off the bacteria. I'm talking about killing the source. Regardless, chlorine does kill mould, specifically on nonnporous surfaces ,which is what we are talking about here, a fridge. On porous surfaces, mould might grow again NOT because the bleach leaves moisture around BUT BECAUSE the bleach might not get into every crevice TO KILL the mould. Any moisture that is left around from bleach is filled with a mould killer! Sorry but that's just the truth.

I’m just looking at your Berkie Water filter. Do you let that dry out when you’re not using it? I would imagine it can develop some mold too when not in use.

You may want to consider removing the bike rack when not in use. The extra weight removed = better gas mileage.

The meds and other toiletries in the bathroom really should be put in a bin and brought into the house until you go out again. Freezing can destroy some of them. Doesn't it feel good to have the cleanup done????

Are you sure you got all the mold out from the cabinets? If not it will spread. Last thing you want is mold behind the walls. 🤗💖

Bleach does not kill the mold thoroughly. You can Google it but a borax solution will kill it down to it's roots
