Dishwashing - Doing the dishes for a typical day's
meals can add up to one pound
of
water to the air.
Floor mopping -
When
an 8' x 10' kitchen floor is
mopped and rinsed, almost 2
y,
pounds
of
water are
released in the air.
Clothes drying - After 10 pounds
of
clothes have been
washed and
spin-dfied in a washer, they still contain
about 10 pounds
of
water.
If
these clothes are dried
inside, that water is released into the air in the
RV.
Gas
appliances-
When
gas is burned, carbon dioxide,
nitrogen and water are given
off
into the air. For every
1000 cubic feet
of
gas burned, nearly 88 pounds
of
water is released into the air.
Humidifiers - Humidifiers are designed to put moisture
into dry air - up to two pounds
per
hour. So in a 24-
hour period, an uncontrolled humidifier can
put
almost
50
pounds
of
water into the air.
House plants
and
aquariums - Plants give
off
almost
as much water as you
put
on them. And open aquariums
permit higher rates
of
evaporation than closed types.
People
and
animals - A large source
of
water in the
RV is the inhabitants themselves. A family
of
four can
put up to 12 pounds
of
water into the air per day
through breathing and perspiration.
As you can see,
just
the normal course
of
living adds a
great deal
of
water to the air.
Q. -
What
will all this
water
do
to
my
RV?
A. -
The
least it will do is fog your windows.
If
it
is really
cold outside, frost or even clear ice could form on the
inside
of
the glass.
Excessive moisture in the air could show up as water
running down
or
dripping
off
walls, ceilings or fixtures.
It may look like your
roof
or windows are leaking. This
water may stain woodwork, carpeting, ceiling panels or
even furniture.
