Any biologists recognize this growth where the back wall meets the carpet of my 2012 BC3650RL? Open the attachment to see it. Thanks.

That's a sure sign of water intrusion.
If you have a window over or near that area it's time to re-caulk it.
You might also be getting water there if the caulk at the roof line needs to be re-caulked.
Your rig is over three years old, has it ever been re-caulked?

Peace
Dave

Thanks, Dave,

That is what I figured. It is right underneath the big back window and also the rear cap roof seam. I caulk it once a year, if I am home, and I remember. I am planning to re-caulk all the seams as soon as I get a break in the weather (I am in the Pacific NW).

It appears to be a "shelf fungus"...it does need humid conditions to survive.

Did a complete re-caulk of the roof and windows. Dried all summer and all is well.
