You asked: How do I keep my RV awning from molding?

I use a mix of one part bleach, one part lemon Joy dish soap (must be lemon Joy), and then fill the bucket with water. Mop it on both sides, scrubbing makes it easier, then roll the awning up. Come back 5-10 mins later and hose it off. You might need to clean it again, but letting it sit helps save a lot of work.
