Reduce
moisture
released
inside
the
motor
home.
Run the range vent fan when cooking and the bath vent fan (or
open the bath vent) when bathing to carry water vapor out of
the motor home. Avoid making steam from excessive
boiling or
use of hot water. Remove water or snow from shoes before
entering to avoid soaking the carpet. Avoid drying overcoats or
other clothes inside the motor home.
» Ventilate
closets
and
cabinets.
During prolonged use
in
very cold weather, leave cabinet and
closet doors partially open to warm and ventilate the interiors
of storage compartments
built against exterior walls. The
airflow will warm the exterior wall surface, reducing or eliminat-
ing condensation and preventing possible ice formation.
»
Install
a
dehumidifier
appliance.
During prolonged, continuous use, a dehumidifying appliance
may be more comfortable and effective in removing excess
moisture from the interior air. While use of a dehumidifier
is
not
a
"cure-all;' and ventilation, storm windows, and moisture
reduction continue to be important, operation of the dehumidi-
fier will reduce the amount of outside air needed for ventilation.
Heating load on the furnace will be reduced, and the interior
will be less drafty.
» Ventilate
while
driving.
Positive air ventilation will help reduce the buildup of moisture
while driving. The movement of the motor home at highway
speeds can cause a partial vacuum inside. This vacuum can
draw
in
odors or dust from the outside through the windows or
vents. Setting the dash heater/air conditioner controls to VENT
or FRESH
AIR will help create the positive air pressure
needed to force out excessive moisture, odors or airborne
dust.
TION
Do
not heat
the
motor
home
interior with
the
range or oven. Open
flames
add
moisture
to
the
interior
air.
Do
not
use
an
air humidifier
in-
side the motor home.
Water put into the air
by
the humidifier will
increase condensation.
