Bleach will not kill the hyphae of any fungus or mould…propriety mould and fungicides only. Bleach on certain fungi/mould will actually feed them.

I phoned AL when I first noticed it on our van which at the time was about 2 1/2 years old. I was told as it's out of its 2 year warranty it's not covered but they would look at it for a charge and probably have to fit a new door. I must admit they weren't that interested and not worth the 300 mile round trip to take it down.

hope this helps there is some fairly good products mentioned,
just ensure properly togged up in safety gear, breathing in spores is not good..

Update on this.... AL agreed, without question, after seeing photos to replace the locker door under warranty and it's to be fitted at the end of the month, whilst the van is serviced and has its water ingress test. So, we are happy with the outcome. I am going to go over the van with a fine tooth comb before going down there though, to make sure we have no outstanding issues. We have had a few problems with our van but, fair play to them, AL have been very good in sorting them out and have shared our frustration at the things they can't really properly solve, like the bathroom door.

Going to spend a long weekend whilst we are down there. Looking forward to our first outing of the season!

Nice to hear of a dealer helping their customers, hope it all gets rectified soon for you.

That's good news. 😀

That's undoubtedly true, but getting help from a dealer - especially with regard to warranty work - shouldn't be making the news.

It really shouldn't be an exceptional event. It should be the norm.

Isn't it what you've got every reason to expect?

I do not think you will find any wood in there,mine didn't, slide the fuzzy stuff around to reveal a screw, remove screw, slide fuzzy stuff all the way round to the other side remove screw, bottom trim ca now be removed, there might be a screw at the bottom cannot remember,the inside is a slab of 25mm thick polystrene when i undid mine about half a ltr of water poured out, bit of a fiddle sliding the fuzzy stuff but easy to do.

So, wood or no wood, our Triton visited AL last Friday for it service and refit of brand new gas locker door so I am happy, though the fungi are not. Hopefully that will be the end of my mushroom farming experience.

However on cleaning the Van before taking it out I did notice that the door appeared to be gaping at the top and losing it ability to seal properly, I mentioned this to Phil Lewis on arrival along with the fact that the installed smoke alarm for some reason ceased to work when the battery was replaced. Both were fixed. A new smoke alarm was installed and when asked what they had done to the door to make it fit better and insure the seal was tight, Phil said "you don't want to know, its not pretty" I left it at that.....................

Good news.
I can also mention good service from Phil at AL. Yesterday evening I emailed a description and picture of my wardrobe frame problem and he replied in a most helpful manner and very promptly too.
That's the way to do it!
