Black streaks on an RV take a special type of cleaner, I think. RV supply stores carry it. Might do a google search for that stuff.

Seems like when I wax my horse trailer, all the color gradations go away.

Washing it? Simple Green.

Simple green during a rain storm has worked really well for us.

I Mix 1 cup of bleach with one gallon of water and a squirt of dish washing liquid in a pump up sprayer-----shake it----spray the whole camper while its cool in the morning---let the mixture sit for about 20 minutes---then if you don't have a pressure washer---use a car washing brush on a handle and wash it just like you were washing your car.

I just took the mold off this Airstream with a green scrub pad and water, nothing more. Worked fine.

A whole camper is too disheartening to wash all at one time. I wash mine one bit at a time, each time we go somewhere to camp. It can get to looking funny, though...one door washd and waxed and shiny, and the whole rest of the side dirty.
