YOUR
MOTOR
HOME
Your
RV
was designed primarily for recreational use and
short term occupancy.
If
you plan to stay in it for longer than
a couple
of
days, you need to understand how to properly
manage and control the humid conditions and condensation
that you may experience.
Modern
RV
s are much smaller than a house, and are tightly
built. This means that the interior air will become saturated
with moisture more quickly. The routine activities
of
a few
people can put a lot
of
water into the air. In cold weather,
this moisture may become visible as condensation.
Condensation happens naturally. Just as moisture collects on
the outside
of
a glass
of
cold water during humid weather,
moisture can condense
on
the inside surfaces
of
your
RV
during cold weather when the humidity
of
the interior air is
high.
Water vapor will condense on the inside
of
the windows and
walls. In really cold weather, frost or ice may appear.
It
may
also condense out
of
sight within the walls or the ceiling.
If
enough water collects in the wall
or
ceiling materials, it may
cause water stains on the wall or ceiling surface.
You
might
think that your walls or ceiling are leaking.
You
have a prob-
lem with condensation
if
you see these signs.
You
need to do
something to reduce the moisture inside your
RV,
If
you locate your
RV
in an area that experiences cold winter
temperatures, you may experience the effects
of
condensa-
tion. Even though you
can't
eliminate it completely, you can
reduce or eliminate its effects.
Here are some frequently asked questions about condensa-
tion and some answers that will help you understand more
about your
RV
and how to keep it comfortable.
