Interior Mold issue Forest river wildwood

as the title says im having a mold issue on wall where shower is located , ive attached pictures and am looking on the best way to tackle this issue , im currently letting affected beams soak in bleach, im thinking only way to cure this is knock out and replace affectes beams , order and cut out sections of wall replacement then go crazy with sealant. For anyone wondering i was cleaning the bathroom and peeked behind a plastic door trim and saw the whole bottom 2 inches was moldy, i removed door along with the trim and ended up pulling the wall off. 2018 forest river wildwood

Update on mold remediation

trying to fix the mold without going nuclear, removed bottom portion of walls with multi tool saw, cleaned and treated the wood currently waiting for it to dry, ended up removing tub and front frame , fan on it and vent/fan open

Its definitely from shower, there was a corner where i can confidently say when the misses was getting out of shower was running from bathroom to back bunk via small hallway. I dont blame forest river because tt was never designed with full time use in mind , but im going to make some "upgrades" to hopefully prevent this from happening again.

I might think about painting that interior wood with Wood Hardner. I would think that would stiffen the wood and keep it from soaking in any additional dampness that might present itself.

That is exactly what I was going to recommend. It will penetrate the wood and encapsulate the mould spores so it will no longer be a living organism.
