TIPS TO CONTROLLING CONDENSATION
To avoid condensation problems, try to follow these tips to help alleviate
excess moisture.
Allow excess moisture to escape to the outside when bathing, washing dishes,
hair drying, laundering, and using appliances and non-vented gas burners.
Always use the vent hood when cooking.
Keep the bathroom door closed and the vent or window open when bathing
and for a period of time after you have finished.
Do not hang wet clothes in the trailer to dry.
In hot weather, start the air conditioner early as it removes excess humidity
from the air while lowering the temperature.
Keep the temperature as reasonably cool during cold weather as possible.
The warmer the vehicle, the more cold exterior temperatures and warm interior
temperatures will collide on wall surfaces, thus creating condensation.
Use a fan to keep air circulating inside the vehicle so condensation and mildew
cannot form in dead air spaces. Allow air to circulate inside closets and cabi-
nets (leave doors partially open). Please keep in mind that a closed cabinet
full of stored goods prevents circulation and allows the exterior temperature to
cause condensation.
The natural tendency would be to close the vehicle tightly during cold weather.
This will actually compound the problem. Simply put, you need to remove
some of the warm air, and allow some cool outside air to get inside the vehicle,
so the furnace will not recycle the humid interior air.
