organic fungicide . For the small shop no way to turn organic fungicide in to a gas. organic fungicide has an short life .With sulfur can be turned in to a gas with a sulfur burner . cheap 110 coffee cup warmer tent made from cheap tarp the Ph. in the sulfur will kill mold and light coat everything stopping air born spores .Will smell for a time better than dying .https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Pounds-Sulfu ... xyFiRR0vxV Ware a mask fresh air paper coverall . Start with bleach 5 to 10% every where . It is the spores that get you.

Today's cheaply built trailers are the cause of this. No RV is exempt.
My dad had a trailer (toy hauler) that appears in great shape. One spring we took it out and felt a soft spot in the floor near the door. Took it to a rv repair shop and the whole wall was black and most of the floor. The cost to repair was more than it was worth.
Walked away from it except for the cost of new tires.
Cause---- weak frame which caused the box to flex and leaks started at the roof.

Bottom line;;;; keep em covered (no tarps) in a structure if you want em to survive and Google what you have or are about to get into. You'd be surprised.
Now he has a motorhome under a steel structure he had built next to the house. No worries.
My TD is garaged when not camping.
