And selfishly harm the environment just to get rid of some mildew...less
chlorine emitted into the atmosphere, the better....vinegar works fine,
especially if you keep on top of things and don't let mildew creep in in the
firstplace....

Has nothing to do with fresh water or salt....has to do with humidity
control...Did you put out mildew pots? or did you put some charcoal in a
bowl or two? Have you used an anti-mildew product on your cushions and head
liner? Do you make sure everything is dry before it is stored away?

Mildew pots?!? Sounds disgusting.

Do you place them next to the bucket of drool, or near the tub of
maggots?
