Cleaning RV that's been sitting

Greetings,

First post here. So, I've just bought a 73 Revcon motor home but one of my big issues is that's it's been sitting for six years, many of which were under a tree. The paint on that side is in bad shape.

Some information, it is an all aluminum body with acrylic enamel paint. It may have been repainted but I'm not sure about that.

So, what is the best way to get the paint clean and get the shine back? I'm concerned about pressure washing, I don't know if it could damage the paint or anything in the RV. Thoughts on that? I've actually heard of people using soft scrub to get the initial grime off without issue but that makes me nervous as well.

It also has a very musty smell, I don't know if it's mold or mildew in there. It is on the ceiling through a portion of the RV. The walls are made from a plastic type of material so cleaning may not be a problem.

I haven't had much luck with the research I've done so far so any information you can give is greatly appreciated.
