Wet carpet in my rv.

And if that wasn t bad enough the stress of new surroundings and the movement of the rv was more than my dogs could handle and one of my larger dogs relieved himself. If i cleaned the entire rig at once how would i keep wyatt from laying on the wet carpet. Here are a few ways to prevent mold from attacking your rv. Most rvs come with cheap rv carpet installed in the bedroom slides and cab area.

Follow the directions on the shampoo s packaging which will likely direct you to vacuum the carpet first. I ve been involved in rving for over 50 years including camping building repairing and even selling rvs and motorhomes. Campgrounds are full of this annoying stuff called dirt. Prevention is the best way to keep mold out of your rv so hopefully before you find any mold you will take some steps to prevent it from forming.

First park your rv. First the bedroom then the living room. My other interests include cooking living with an aging dog and dealing with diabetic issues. Here are my thoughts on rv carpet.

We confirmed there was no plumbing leak and were stumped as to how the carpet got wet so we went into troubleshooting mode. Cleaning day arrived and i realized i had a challenge. I would deep clean our rv carpet one room at a time. Tap the carpet over the tack strip and stretch with a carpet stretcher as well.

The other side of the wall inside the storage compartment with our freshwater tank was also wet. But it could have also been coming from the bathtub since that was right above. This is simply not compatible with the way most rvs are used to camp in campgrounds. Use a commercial carpet shampoo if the smell persists.

So we thought the worst. I do all of my own repair work. It can be found at your local grocery store or online. Remove the old carpet and padding as before and then install a line of tack strip and lay the new carpet padding and carpet.

I used a baby gate to keep him off the damp carpet until it was dry. Another way to identify it is by looking for black blue green or white stains on your rv walls carpet or other flooring.
