Musty air-conditioner smell

I have a new to me (I'm the third owner) 2004 Adventurer 38R.

I ran the air-conditioner for a few hours yesterday and it ran quite well however when I shut off the cooling the blower was putting out a musty smell.

I located the drain and it was plugged up pretty bad. I pulled it out and LOTS of water poured out. I stuck my finger inside the hole and rubbed it around and it was quite dirty inside the drainage reservoir.

Is there any way to clean out the drainage reservoir?

Musty is often mold or mildew from standing water. I would do a strong bleach water cleaning or scrub .Observe safety thinking for bleach to avoid tie dyed pants and shirt!!!

I understand that I should try and clean the A/C unit I just don't know how.

I am looking for help as to how to access the area that needs cleaning.
