Have had the camper out in the 25+ inches of rain over last 6 months, and when opened it yesterday it was full of mould.  Can anyone advise me of how to remove the mould safely from the canvas. I would presume the canvas is treated with some type of waterproofing which I wouldn't want to destroy. Thanks.

I use preen from the laundry section at the super market.
Test it on a small area first to make sure the color does not run.

If the canvas is made by Wax Converters Textiles, I would givethem a call, as they have a secret recipe for removing mould without damaging anything.

What a shame. Check out that link, good info there. Gentle washing seems the key, but you need to kill the spores as well.
