Default 07 crescendo black mold in bedroom closets

I have a 2007 crescendo and the mirrored closets in the rear bedroom have black stains on the roof and inside the closets lights? Is this mold? is there a seam in the roof right there that is prone to leaking?

This does not sound like yours, but I thought I would mention it. I am not sure how to tell the difference between the soot and mold. I have no moisture, and I know how the soot gets in there, so I am not concerned that it is mold.

I have an 04 crescendo DP and the rear wall was not properly sealed so soot from the road makes its way to the upper rear corners of the back cap and into the intersection of the rear wall, side wall, and roof. The result is soot that essentially grows from the upper rear corners of the bedroom. The soot can travel along the intersection of the roof and walls and come out a bit later than the corner if there is a better exit for it.

Sealant and water leaks as mentioned so far, seems the issue no matter what kind of RV one has and it doesn't seem to be effective long term no mater the class of the rig (except perhaps Airstream...anyone have one to comment on leaks?). We just sold an Amerilite 21MBLE that was in sad shape due to water leaks from roof and corner seam leaks. Pointed all this out to the buyer, everywhere the floor or roof was soft so he knew going in he was going to put 'sweat equity' into this one. Happy to get it for the 1/3rd of value of one NOT rotting away. The next new one we buy, I'm going over every seam with "Eternabond" seam tape and Dicor lap sealant around anything and everything going through the roof or walls (pipes, vents, antennas, windows, doors, etc) within the first month of owning it.

All reply’s had great info/ways to tackle issue, so I will just share for future prevention. We use dollar store dry camp crystals that absorb excess moisture. It comes in many forms, for closet they have a hanging bag.
