CONDENSATION
Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will vary with the climate
conditions, particularly the relative humidity. Condensation occurs because there is water vapor
present in the air, which each of us adds by breathing, bathing and cooking. The water vapor collects
where there is available air space, and when the temperature reaches the 'dew point' the water vapor
in the air condenses and changes to liquid form. Most people have experienced a similar
phenomenon when moisture forms on kitchen windows and bathroom mirrors during cool weather.
Proper ventilation and, if needed, the use of a dehumidifier will assist in controlling the
condensation. Many RV and marine dealers carry small dehumidifiers especially sized for
recreation use. Condensation causes dampness, mildew, staining and if allowed to continue at high
levels will cause damage to the motorhome.
