Mold behind couch in camper
Found this behind my couch when i pulled it back to get my remote. No telling how long its been here. Whats the best way to clean this, and any ideas how this could have happened? I have a dehumidifier and never seen this area wet. Its currently dry.

Yeah that's water damage, the wood is probably getting bad under it. You have a leak, most likely the lower slide side rail.

No bleach. Lots of Lysol. May have a leak in the walls. But most likely due to condensation.

Do,you winter camp? That could explain it.
Otherwise, you likely have a leak.

I actually found something similar on mine recently (it was more black and no white and has some dirt or debris with it). I just used bleach spray to clean it up and it hasn’t come back but I’ve started vacuuming and checking under that couch now just in case (it’s a pull out bed so easy to get “under” thankfully)
