Montana 3665re, Right below the fridge/freezer we have a solid oak board screwed on so wondering what was behind it I unscrewed it and low and behold on the back side of the board was mold almost covering the whole board. cleaned it off and left the board off for now to air out the area under there... we look into getting a piece of that black mesh stuff to put in place of the board.... Not sure what you all might have there (unit design) but might be worth looking.

on our Montana 3400 we had the same board. I put a couple of hinges and a catch on it and turned it into a cabinet door so I could use the area behind it for storage. You might want to double check your drain hose for your fridge. It should be sticking partially out of the outside fridge vent. The hoses have been known to become brittle and break causing the moisture to leak inside the coach instead of outside and could be one source for the mold you found. You can replace the hose with a section of clear plastic tubing from the hardware if your's is damaged.

The hose does stick from where you say... but I haven't really looked it over to see if it is cracked somewhere...will do that today.

We have a Montana 3455SA. We, too, put hinges and a handle on that board. I use it to store my baking pans such as cookie sheets, etc.

Phyllen, Did you leave to 2 wire plug ins where they were or move them out of the way?
