Controlling Moisture Condensation:
Reduce or eliminate interior moisture condensation during cold weather by
using the following steps:
• Partially open the roof vents and windows so that outside air can
circulate into the interior. Increase the ventilation when large numbers
of people are in the motorhome. Even in raining or snowing conditions
the air outside will be far drier than the interior air.
• Install a dehumidifier. Continuous use of a dehumidifier is effective in
removing excess moisture from the interior air. Using a dehumidifier
is not a cure-all, however, it will reduce the amount of outside air
needed for ventilation.
• Run the range vent fan when cooking and the bath vent fan (or open
the bath vent) when bathing, to reduce water vapor. Avoid excessive
boiling or use of hot water as it produces steam.
• Do not heat the motorhome interior with the range or oven. Heating
with the range or oven increases the risk of toxic fumes and allows
oxygen depletion. Also, open flames add moisture to the interior air
increasing condensation.
• In very cold weather leave the cabinet and closet doors partially open.
The air flow will warm and ventilate the interior of the storage
compartments and the exterior wall surface, reducing or eliminating
condensation and preventing the possibility of ice formations.
• Dusting:
Regular dusting maintains the appearance of most blinds. Keep the
aluminum blind looking its best by periodically wiping them with a
soft cloth or a dusting mitt. By tilting the slats down, but not quite
closed, you'll be able to clean most of the top surface of each slat.
Blinds may be cleaned while hanging in place using this method.
• Vacuuming:
For deeper cleaning, vacuum gently with brush attachment of any
vacuum cleaner.
• Compressed Air or Hair Dryer (non-heat setting):
Blow dust off each slat. Dust will be air-borne using this method so
ventilate the motorhome.
