Mold. The four letter no one wants to hear, especially when it comes to your RV.
It can do extensive damage to your RV and, more importantly, your health.
Especially if you have mold under your mattress! If you do, check out this Hypervent condensation prevention matting that can help.
RVs are especially good incubators for mold spores as they are frequently closed up and stored for long periods of time. Moisture can get trapped inside and feed the mold growth.
Stored RVs aren’t the only problem though. If there’s a leaky pipe somewhere inside, or a leak in the roof, you’re in for trouble.
Your first clue will be the smell. If there is a musty, dank smell somewhere in your RV, you likely have a mold problem.
Another way to identify it is by looking for black, blue, green, or white stains on your RV walls, carpet, or other flooring.
Another common place for mold to grow in an RV is under your mattress. Lack of air circulation (along with condensation from body heat) can make the space under your mattress a prime spot for mold to grow.
Dry mesh products placed in this space underneath the mattress allow air to circulate, preventing mold.

Keep out the moisture! You can achieve this by inspecting the plumbing and the roof for any leaks, as well as by increasing the ventilation inside the RV (especially before storing it for a long time!)
Any moisture trapped inside the RV can cause mold, whether this is from leaks or poor ventilation.
Lack of air circulation combined with body heat can mean mold under your RV mattress. To prevent it, increase air flow or invest in a dry mesh product that can help.
