CONDENSATION_________________________________________
Where it comes from, what causes it, and various solutions.
Condensation is not a warranty issue.
Causes:
A. It occurs when warm moist air contacts a cold surface, such as
rain touching the tent fabric with people breathing warm moist air
against it from inside due to normal breathing.
B. When cooking food or taking a shower, warm moist air circulates
throughout the coach attaching itself to cooler surfaces, forming
beads and running down wall or window
C. Normal breathing will emit approximately 1/2 pint of moisture into
the air per person, per day. The more occupants the greater
quantity of condensation you may find.
Solutions:
1. When taking a shower, open bath roof vent approximately ½ inch
allowing moisture to escape.
