Hi,

  Ok, I've read a bunch of the posts on the dreaded mold / mildew
disease that pop-ups are prone to, but I have a few more questions to
anyone in the know.

  For background, when I opened up my camper this spring, I found the
roof over one of the beds loaded with dark spots.  I had a few holes
in both the screening and the canvas, and I also had a serious ant
infestestion too.  I swear that I put the thing away dry and clean,
but now realize that the dampness may be due to a possible roof leak
(haven't seen one, but can't think of any other possible cause...).
There appear to be a few other areas within the camper where there are
spots too.  I store the camper in the yard, on the grass.

  Ok, so this year when I put it away, I will:

- clean out the camper thoroughly
- insure the canvas is dry
- place a few ant traps around on the inside (seems like that might
attract them too, but it sounds like others have had success doing
this)
- sprinkle pesticide around the wheels and front tongue to ward off
the little critters
- cover the top part with a tarp, in case there are leaks in the roof

  Now, the questions:

1 - Is the mold "dead" now, that the canvas has been dry for a few
weeks?
2 - If not, then do I need to "treat" any place where I see dark spots
with some bleach solution to insure the mold is dead, or will putting
it away dry keep any existing mold from spreading?
3 - Can I blame the holes in my canvas on the mold / mildew, or the
ants?  I didn't think ants would make holes....
4 - Would shoving my dehumidifier in the pop-up for a few days after I
close it up to hgelp dry it out more be "a little extreme"?

  Thanks in advance....
