Yup. Had the same problem here in Lake Panasoffkee, Florida. I removed the shroud, the wife and I removed around 25 screws to get to the evaporator coils and drain pan. Cleaned all the dirt and dust out. Sprayed a 50% water 50% bleach mixture on everything. Closed it back up. It didn't do a thing. Next time we used the A/C, had the mold smell. I posted on the NuWa trailer forum site about it and was told to buy BG Frigi-Fresh or BG Frigi-Clean. Made mostly for using in cars and trucks A/Cs. We got some and started using it. Sprayed the coils first and let set for a few days then when ever the A/C would kick on would spray the stuff through the intake vent. Also had one cool morning where we turned on the heat pump and I think that helped too. No more mold smell.
