4.
Avoid placing pans
of
water on the stove or in heat
ducts to raise the humidity.
5.
If
you operate or use vaporizing inhalers,
or
similar
devices, always provide adequate ventilation.
6. Never use open flame gas or kerosene-burning
heaters indoors. These devices release water into the
air, and the exhaust gases contain poisonous
substances.
To
increase ventilation:
1.
Use the kitchen and bath exhaust fans,
if
equipped,
when cooking or bathing.
Let
them
lUn
for a while
after a bath or meal.
2.
Ventilate with outside
air.
Partially open one or more
roof vents andlor windows to provide circulation
of
outside air into the interior. While this ventilation
will increase furnace heating load, it will greatly
reduce, or eliminate, condensation. Even when
it
is
raining or snowing, outside air will be far drier than
interior air and will effectively reduce condensation.
3.
Avoid taping windows or doors tightly closed. This
will prevent any air movement and will make the
condensation problem worse.
4. Ventilate closets and cabinets. During prolonged use
in
velY
cold weather, leave cabinet and closet doors
partially open to warm and ventilate the interiors
of
storage compartments built against exterior walls. The
air flow will warm the exterior wall sUlface, and
reduce or eliminate condensation, and prevent possi-
ble ice formation. Avoid crowding closets
or
wardrobe
space. Overstuffed closets restrict air flow.
5.
Stock kitchen and bath cabinets to allow free air
circulation.
6. Open drapes over windows as often as possible and
convenient.
CAUTION
Do
not heat the
RV
interior
with the
range
or
oven.
Open flames add moisture
to
the interior
air.
Do
not
use
an
air humidifier inside
the
RV.
Water put into
the
air by the humidifier will
increase condensation.
WARNING
Do
not cover emergency
exit window(s). This win-
dow must be
left accessi-
ble
at
all times for emer-
gencyexit.
